D.C. Circuit Court delays Clean Power Plan hearing

Published May 17, 2016 2:41pm ET



The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals decided late Monday to hear challenges to the Clean Power Plan in September, rather than the scheduled June date in two weeks.

Twenty-seven states are challenging President Obama’s regulations on carbon emissions from new and existing coal power plants, along with a host of business and industry groups. Oral arguments were originally scheduled to be heard in the case on June 2, but will not be held until Sept. 27.
