California Restaurant Association Files New California EPR Lawsuit Built on an Untested State Constitutional Tax Theory

Key Takeaways California restaurants open a state-court fight against California’s extended producer responsibility (EPR) law with a theory no EPR challenge has tried. On Friday, October 23, 2026, the California Restaurant Association (CRA) asked a Sacramento court to stop Circular Action Alliance California, LLC (CAA) from imposing or collecting any charge under California’s EPR law, SB 54. The CRA argues that SB 54’s charges are taxes, and that the California Constitution flatly bars the Legislature from handing the power to tax to a private party. No earlier EPR challenge has raised that tax-specific argument. SB 54 remains in effect while the case proceeds, and according to the petition, CAA’s 2027 billing is expected to reach about 4,000 producers and exceed $1.1 billion. Producers covered by California’s SB 54 have spent months watching a 17-state coalition fight the law in federal court on federal theories. Now a new challenger has opened a second front, in state court, with an argument no one has tried yet: the California Constitution’s ban on private taxation. The CRA represents more than 18,000 restaurants, from family-owned neighborhood spots to regional chains, including members who have already received CAA invoices. Its petition sues CAA and the Department
