California to file lawsuit after Senate vote on clean vehicles program

California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the state will file a lawsuit as Republicans in the U.S. Senate take on California’s clean vehicles program. Publicly traded companies in the electric vehicle space auto space include Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Tesla (TSLA), Rivian (RIVN) and Lucid Group (LCID). “With these votes, Senate Republicans are bending the knee to President Trump once again,” said Attorney General Rob Bonta. “The weaponization of the Congressional Review Act to attack California’s waivers is just another part of the continuous, partisan campaign against California’s efforts to protect the public and the planet from harmful pollution. As we have said before, this reckless misuse of the Congressional Review Act is unlawful, and California will not stand idly by. We need to hold the line on strong emissions standards and keep the waivers in place, and we will sue to defend California’s waivers.”
