SCOTUS is hearing a case that will address where challenges to small refinery exemptions can be brought

Roger McEowen with the Washburn School of Law spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender about some highlights from the case, how ruling in favor of the EPA will impact producers, and what the timeline will be.
