Eleven AGs Filed Amicus Brief to Restore Air Pollution Funds to Federal Harley-Davidson Settlement

JANUARY 31, 2018

A coalition of 11 attorneys general “filed an amicus brief opposing the elimination of $3 million in funding for clean air projects from a proposed settlement between the federal government and Harley-Davidson. The proposed settlement between the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Harley-Davidson stems from a complaint filed by the DOJ on behalf of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) arguing that Harley-Davidson manufactured and sold ‘tuners’ that once installed, caused motorcycles to emit excess amounts of certain harmful air pollutants, including hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.”
