WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Chamber of Commerce asked the Supreme Court on Friday to pause new California laws expected to require thousands of companies to report emissions and climate-risk information.
The laws are the most sweeping of their kind in the nation, and a collection of business groups argued in an emergency appeal that they violate free-speech rights.
The measures were signed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2023, and reporting requirements are expected to start early next year.
Lower courts have so far refused to block the laws, which the state says will increase transparency and encourage companies to assess how they can cut their emissions.
The state has argued that the laws don’t violate the First Amendment because commercial speech isn’t protected the same way under the Constitution.
In 2023, Newsom called the emissions-disclosure law an important policy and of the state’s “bold responses to the climate crisis, turning information transparency into climate action.” The environmental group Ceres has said the information will help people decide whether to support the businesses.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approved a rule last year requiring some public companies to report their greenhouse gas emissions and climate risks, but the agency paused the regulation amid litigation.

Better start moving from CA. Once you report the Climate Hoax information, the lawfare will start. You will be giving them the information to hang you.

Thousands of companies might stop donating to these liberals.
Businesses should just leave California.
