Amicus Motion/Brief
Brief filed by amici curiae Iowa and 24 other states in support of the Chamber's application for a stay pending appeal.
Iowa and 24 other states filed an amicus brief in support of the emergency application. They argued California was attempting to be a “national regulator” of greenhouse gas emissions and that companies across the country would be irreparably harmed if the laws were allowed to go into effect.
