A new ruling in Colorado Apartment Association v. Ryan affirms local authority to regulate fossil fuel combustion, while raising concerns about existing building performance standards (“BPS”) based on energy use intensity. The court indicated that BPS based on greenhouse gas emissions are likely not preempted, so the current federal legal landscape still allows for a range of building decarbonization approaches. Read our latest commentary to learn what this could mean for BPS and federal Energy Policy and Conservation Act preemption: https://www.publichealthlawcenter.org/commentary/261005/10/5/26-what-new-colorado-ruling-means-bps

On September 28, 2026, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill (AB) 762 into law, banning the sale, manufacture, and importation of disposable v**es in California. In one of the nation's largest consumer markets, this law represents a landmark victory for environmental health, public health, and U.S. taxpayers.

Every year, 178.7 million disposable v**es are sold in the U.S., and Americans throw away 5.7 of these v**es every second. This rapid production of hazardous waste has created a massive, cost-prohibitive toxic problem for communities and local governments across the nation. AB-762 takes an upstream approach to reducing v**e waste in California by preventing disposable v**es from flooding the state in the first place.
