U.S. Chamber of Commerce v. Randolph
On September 25, 2025, WLF asked the Ninth Circuit to reverse a district court decision denying a preliminary injunction against California’s SB 253 and SB 261, which unlawfully compel companies to report climate-related risks and emissions. WLF contends that the laws violate the First Amendment by forcing businesses to either parrot the State’s views on climate change or explain their disagreement, eroding free speech rights. WLF’s brief was prepared with generous pro bono support from Jim Wedeking of Boyden Gray PLLC.
