The Minnesota Auto Dealers Association filed a lawsuit in the state appeals court to stop the implementation of the California Cars Rules. MADA President Scott Lambert said the only choice left is in the courts. “The Governor implemented the rule last summer and we tried to get the Legislature to look at this again, but they did not.” The lawsuit argues one government agency cannot write rules for another agency. “In this case, it’s the California Air Resources Board for the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. In addition, this program violates federal rules.” Lambert says only states with areas of non-attainment are eligible and Minnesota hasn’t had that for 20 years. “I expect it will be sometime before Christmas we’ll finally get a final decision.”
