Dormant Commerce Clause Standards
1) Strict Test: To be constitutional, a state or local law must advance
a legitimate state or local
interest and there must be no reasonable nondiscriminatory alternative
means available to advance that interest
2) More Deferential Test (Pike Balancing Test): To be constitutional,
the burdens a state or
local law imposes on out-of-state
commerce must not be clearly excessive in comparison to the local
benefits.
