• Guns: Many states with stricter gun laws — including Illinois, Hawaii and Massachusetts — refuse to honor concealed-carry permits from other states.
• Climate: States sometimes petition to stop pollution that comes from upwind: New York, for instance, has repeatedly sued for protection from smog and acid rain generated by industrial plants in other states. And 22 Republican-led states sued New York this year for requiring fossil-fuel producers to devote billions of dollars to fighting climate change; the plaintiffs argue that New York’s law hurts their states’ energy industries.
• Waste: States have tried to stop one another from shipping waste across their borders. The Supreme Court has struck down these efforts under the Constitution’s Commerce Clause. (The justices say trash can’t gain or lose legal status based on where it comes from.) But local governments have tried to block new landfills, impose fees and add administrative hurdles.
• Marriage and divorce: Nevada was once a destination for quick-and-easy divorces that other states refused to honor; the Supreme Court eventually ruled that other states had to honor them. Marriage has caused tension, too: Before the Supreme Court ruled in 2015 that the Constitution protects gay marriage, some states refused to recognize same-sex couples from other states.
