Opinion issued.
A California appellate court held that CARB did not violate the statutory requirements of the Global Warming Solutions Act, otherwise known as AB 32, in approving a strategy to implement the statute.  In particular, the court held that CARB did not disregard the law or act arbitrarily or capriciously in adopting the scoping plan.
Decision
06/24/2011
Order issued.
A California state appellate court granted CARB’s request for a stay of a May 2011 injunction that had stopped its work implementing the state’s cap-and-trade program.  The court lifted the injunction imposed by the trial court following that court’s holding that CARB had not adequately weighed alternatives to the cap-and-trade system and other measures when it adopted a strategy to implement AB 32.  [Editor’s note: Shortly after this decision was issued, CARB announced that it was nonetheless postponing the start of the cap-and-trade program by one year.]
Decision
06/03/2011
Order issued.
The California Court of Appeal temporarily lifted the May 20 order enjoining the California Air Resources Board from taking steps to implement its AB 32 cap-and-trade program until opposition briefs could be filed.
Decision

Summary

Challenge to CARB’s plan to implement AB 32.
