AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Meta Settlement: Nevada AG Aaron Ford announced a landmark $17.1B multistate Meta deal to force child-safety changes on Instagram and Facebook, with Rhode Island also in the mix for major payments. Election Law Fight: Ford also co-leads a lawsuit challenging USPS rules tied to mail voting, arguing the federal move would interfere with states’ election administration. Federal vs. State Tuition: DOJ sued Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington over “in-state tuition” and aid for illegal immigrants, adding to a growing legal push that now totals 21 states. Rhode Island Public Safety Tech: A Rhode Island-related debate over Flock-style license-plate cameras continues as communities weigh data retention, oversight, and misuse concerns. Food Safety: USDA issued a Class I recall of nearly 25,000 pounds of frozen buffalo chicken shipped to RI and other states after inspection lapses and false inspection marks. Local Business/Real Estate: Pawtucket is advancing proposals for housing, hotels and retail at the former Apex site, signaling continued redevelopment momentum. Energy/Utilities: Rhode Island utility credits are set to hit bills starting in October, affecting household costs and budgeting. Sports Business: Newport native Cooper Flagg’s rare rookie patch card is headed to auction, with Rhode Island’s retail shop involved in the high-stakes deal.
