BATON ROUGE, LA – The United States Supreme Court has granted Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry's request to halt a district court's ruling that blocked implementation of the EPA's Clean Water Act Section 401 Certification Rule – a victory for farmers, developers, and other landowners in the Pelican State. In response, Attorney General Landry issued the following statement:

"I remain committed to upholding the Trump pro-business, pro-job legacy of regulation reduction and reform. Today, the Supreme Court ensured those rules would stay in place. My office will continue fighting Biden's overreach and his woke agenda that has crippled our economy, destroyed our working class, and threatened our national security."

The case, captioned Louisiana v. American Rivers, will now return to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
