Basically, SCOTUS will decide whether California’s law banning pig crates violates the dormant commerce clause, since it would in effect be forcing farmers in other states not otherwise subject to California law to comply.

From SCOTUS:

“The questions presented are:

Whether allegations that a state law has dramatic economic effects largely outside of the state and requires pervasive changes to an integrated nationwide industry state a violation of the dormant Commerce Clause, or whether the extraterritoriality principle described in this Court's decisions is now a dead letter.

Whether such allegations, concerning a law that is based solely on preferences regarding out-of-state housing of farm animals, state a Pike claim.”
