The following excerpt is from JSH Management Services, Inc. v. Hanny Magnetics (Holdings) Ltd., 134 F.3d 378 (9th Cir. 1998):
A state statute must be upheld if it "regulates evenhandedly to effectuate a legitimate local public interest, and its effects on interstate commerce are only incidental ... unless the burden imposed on such commerce is clearly excessive in relation to the putative local benefits."
Edgar v. Mite Corp., 457 U.S. 624, 640 (1982) (citations omitted).
