AG ​Bonta issued the following statement on the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California’s decision to dismiss the Trump Administration’s lawsuit against California’s Proposition 12. 

"Today’s decision affirms that the Trump Administration had no valid case against California’s voter-approved animal welfare laws. Its bogus claims are nothing more than an attempt to distract from a broader affordability crisis of their own making. Since Day One, they have never been able to explain how these commonsense animal welfare laws harm the interest of the United States. As Attorney General, I’ll continue to stand up for Californians and the rule of law.” – AG Bonta
