On September 14, 2026, attorneys for New York State and plaintiffs challenging New York’s Climate Change Superfund Act jointly asked the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York to enter final judgment on the plaintiffs’ two preemption claims. The request follows the court’s August 31 Memorandum-Decision and Order granting summary judgment on those preemption claims and would set the stage for an immediate appeal to the Second Circuit.
