California AG and Oregon AG Filed Motion to Intervene in Litigation Over “2-for-1” Executive Order

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum filed a motion to intervene in Public Citizen, Inc., et al. vs. Trump, et. al. to challenge an executive order that requires most federal agencies to repeal at least two existing regulations for every new major regulation an agency issues. The executive order instructs federal agencies to focus on cost burdens to industry and discount the societal benefits of environmental, health and safety measures.
