Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The new Arizona statute is most likely an impermissible regulation of interstate commerce as it creates an unnecessary burden on out-of-state growers that can disrupt the balance of trade between states. The dormant Commerce Clause of the United States Constitution prohibits a state from discriminating against or excessively burdening interstate commerce. The fact that the size requirement does not apply to oranges grown in Arizona but applies only to oranges shipped into the state from growers located outside of the state makes it discriminatory against out-of-state growers.
