California sued over Newsom-signed laws forcing companies to disclose greenhouse gas emissions

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and several other business groups sued the State of California over landmark climate disclosure laws that mandate businesses to report emissions data.

"We are proud of the leadership and innovation shown by America’s businesses in tackling climate change. Businesses and government need to work together to address the problem and that requires policies that are practical, flexible, predictable, and durable," said Tom Quaadman, the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce's Center for Capital Markets Competitiveness. Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"California’s corporate disclosure laws are the opposite of that and violate the First Amendment by forcing businesses to engage in subjective speech," he continued. "California’s laws usurp the role of federal regulators, opening the door for other states to take an opposite approach to disclosure, leaving businesses and their investors caught in the middle of a political scrap between states."
