The U.S. Chamber of Commerce asked the Supreme Court on Nov. 14 to prevent two California laws from coming into force that compel companies to make information about their emissions and climate risks public.

The Chamber and other industry groups filed an emergency application against Lauren Sanchez, head of the California Air Resources Board, and two other state officials, to block California Senate Bills 261 and 253 from taking effect. The application was directed to Justice Elena Kagan, who oversees urgent appeals from California.
