WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Texas and 15 other states have challenged the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's tougher vehicle emissions rules that seek to reverse a rollback issued under President Donald Trump.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a challenge joined by Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Utah. The state of Arizona filed a separate legal challenge. The new EPA rules take effect later this year and require a 28.3% reduction in vehicle emissions through 2026.
