Professor Frank Quoted on District Court's Environmental Decision in Sacramento Bee
Professor of Environmental Practice Richard Frank commented for the Sacramento Bee on a recent U.S. District Court ruling that the California Air Resources Board's Low Carbon Fuel Standards violate the Commerce Clause of the Constitution by discriminating against interstate commerce.
The ruling is "a harbinger of legal challenges to come" over state environmental laws, Frank said. "This constitutional fight has been looming for some time."
Frank, a 1974 graduate of King Hall, is a leading scholar and practitioner in the field of environmental law and the founding Director of the new California Environmental Law and Policy Center at UC Davis School of Law.
