Legally, environmental justice organizations have already sued CARB, alleging the agency violated state environmental law when it approved the regulations in May.
Rally to Pressure LegislatureTransit, housing, environmental justice, and climate organizations are planning a rally and lobbying day at the State Capitol on Monday to urge lawmakers to restore funding priorities they say were dismantled by CARB’s vote.
Organizers argue that while CARB adopted the regulations, the Legislature still has the authority to restore funding priorities.
Lawsuit Seeks to Overturn RegulationsSeparately, the Center for Community Action and Environmental Justice and other environmental justice organizations filed a lawsuit earlier this month to overturn the new rules.
Plaintiffs also contend the board failed to properly evaluate the environmental justice impacts of expanding free emissions allowances for large polluters.
