Minnesota Automobile Dealers Association v. Minnesota
Case Documents:
Filing Date Type File Action Taken Summary 01/06/2021 Complaint Download Complaint filed. Lawsuit Filed to Prevent Minnesota’s Adoption of Greenhouse Gas Standards for Vehicles. Minnesota Auto Dealers Association (MADA) filed a lawsuit in federal court in Minnesota to enjoin the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) from establishing greenhouse gas emissions standards for new vehicles and imposing quotas for zero-emission vehicle sales. Citing EPA’s withdrawal of California’s waiver for greenhouse gas vehicle emission standards and zero emission vehicle mandates and NHTSA’s 2019 preemption rule, MADA asserted that federal law expressly preempts MPCA’s December 2020 proposal to adopt California vehicle standards beginning with model year 2025.
