Arizona v. EPA

State recipients of grants under the Solar for All program filed a lawsuit in the federal district court for the Western District of Washington seeking a declaration that EPA’s actions terminating the program were unlawful and injunctive relief prohibiting EPA from implementing the unlawful actions and ordering EPA to reinstate the program and provide necessary administrative report to grant recipients. They asserted violations of the Administrative Procedure Act and of separation of powers constraints and the Constitution’s Appropriations Clause. They also asserted a non-statutory review ultra vires claim that EPA acted in excess of its authority.
