WASHINGTON, D.C. — Daryl Joseffer, executive vice president and chief counsel at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Litigation Center, issued the following statement in response to the Ninth Circuit's decision to halt California's climate disclosure law:
“The U.S. Chamber welcomes the Ninth Circuit’s decision to pause California’s unconstitutional climate disclosure law, pending appeal. Stopping this law before its January 1 deadline was critical to businesses and the protection of their First Amendment rights. We look forward to continuing our appeal and securing an injunction of both climate disclosure laws, which result in massive compliance costs for companies and their supply chains. One state should not have the ability to impose this kind of burden on the entire country.”
