New York Attorney General Letitia James joined a coalition lawsuit challenging NHTSA’s rollback of federal fuel economy standards. The coalition alleges that the final rule violates federal law and asks the court to strike it down; the press release describes no privacy violations or monetary penalty.
The coalition asks the court to strike down the challenged rule. The press release does not report that a remedy has been imposed.
This action concerns vehicle fuel-economy regulation, not privacy practices, so it does not identify privacy clauses requiring updates. In automotive manufacturer, supplier, fleet, and customer agreements, review clauses allocating responsibility for CAFE compliance, vehicle efficiency specifications, regulatory reporting, warranties, and changes in law; privacy-focused vendor, customer, and employee provisions are not implicated by the press release.
