Question
Congress passed the National Storm Readiness Act, requiring every adult to buy a private emergency-supply kit containing water filters, batteries, and radios. An adult who does not buy a kit must pay a civil penalty to a federal emergency agency. The government defends the mandate solely under the Commerce Clause, arguing that people who lack supplies during disasters shift costs to hospitals, charities, and interstate transportation networks.
An adult who has not bought a kit challenges the mandate. Which statement is most accurate?
