Attorneys general in 13 states are taking California to court over its regulations for egg sellers. The western state is accused of violating the interstate commerce clause in the U-S Constitution. The law being challenged requires eggs sold in that state to come from hens which are kept in more spacious cages. A similar suit was rejected by a federal appeals court last year, with six states participating. Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley is heading the suit. He cites data estimating the California egg law has cost consumers 350-million dollars-a-year since it took effect in 2015.
