Bonta filed the lawsuit in a California federal court, seeking to compel the EPA to implement Biden-era soot pollution rules within 150 days.
The lawsuit comes as the EPA faces legal challenges from industry groups and Republican-led states, who argue the agency lacked authority to finalize stricter air quality standards for fine particulate matter.
Bonta warns that EPA inaction threatens public health and the economy, while the related case remains on hold in the U.S. Court of Appeals as the Trump administration reviews its options.
