Climate Superfund Act Suffers Another Major Legal Blow
Original: Climate Superfund Act Dealt Another Major Legal Blow
New Jersey's Climate Superfund Act, which would require major fossil fuel companies to pay for climate adaptation costs, has reportedly suffered another significant setback in court. The law, modeled on similar legislation in states like Vermont and New York, has faced legal challenges from business groups arguing it is unconstitutional and retroactive. Critics say the ruling threatens the state's ability to fund climate resilience projects.
Why now: A new legal ruling against the act has immediate implications for climate accountability legislation in New Jersey and other states pursuing similar laws.
