Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether this Court's decision in General Motors Corp. v. Tracy, 519 U.S. 278 (1997), immunizes State laws affecting utilities from challenge under the dormant Commerce Clause, even when those laws affect competitive markets.

2. Whether alleging interstate and market-wide consequences of a state law, including a protectionist effect, adequately alleges a burden on interstate commerce, as five Justices would have held in National Pork Producers Council v. Ross, 598 U.S. 356 (2023).

Question Presented (AI Summary)
