California greenhouse gas laws face appeals court

A challenge to California's greenhouse gas emissions law will be heard in an appeals court Tuesday.

A challenge to California's 2006 greenhouse gas laws will be heard in an appeals court Tuesday.

The case will focus on whether the laws are unconstitutional and will "test how far a state can go with such broad greenhouse gas regulations," according to the San Jose Mercury News.

The law calls for reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels. Seven states are agreeing with California, while nine oppose it in the case, according to the report. Last year, an appeals court judge found the law was unconstitutional because the rules "discriminate against out-of-state businesses."
