FEBRUARY 14, 2019
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser filed an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit brought by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and 17 other state attorneys general challenging the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) April 2018 Revised Determination for national Clean Car Standards. In the brief, AG Weiser noted that the EPA violated the Administrative Procedure Act by failing to provide an opportunity for public comment before issuing its Revised Determination, and withholding the technical analysis it used to justify its decision from the public.
