California sues the Trump administration over a presidential executive order that allegedly slashes regulations 'arbitrarily.'
On the eve of President Donald Trump's visit, California's Democratic Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced the state has unleashed its 49th lawsuit against the Trump administration, this time challenging a presidential executive order signed in 2017 that"arbitrarily" slashes regulations.
In a statement Thursday night, Becerra said Trump's"2-for-1" executive order, issued on Jan. 30, 2017, requires that U.S. agencies to repeal at least two existing government regulations for every new one an agency issues, with the goal to offset costs. In doing so, agencies make determinations based on looking at"the cost of the proposed regulation, while giving no consideration to the benefit or protections lost by the repeal of existing regulations," the release added.
