The Trump administration sued California cities over natural gas bans, citing federal law.
The Trump administration sued Morgan Hill and Petaluma, California, over local bans on natural gas in new buildings, claiming the laws violate a 1975 federal statute that limits local regulation of energy products under federal standards.
The lawsuit is part of a broader federal effort to challenge local climate policies, particularly in California, where dozens of cities have adopted similar restrictions since 2019.
A 2023 appeals court decision had already invalidated Berkeley’s gas ban.
The Justice Department argues the ordinances exceed local authority and impose undue costs, while the cities have not issued public statements.
The case is pending in federal court.
