Multistate

  • A multistate coalition of 22 attorneys general, co-led by Illinois Attorney General Raoul and the attorneys general of California, Connecticut, Maryland, and Massachusetts, filed suit challenging a final rule issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services prohibiting federal Medicaid and CHIP reimbursement for gender-affirming care for beneficiaries under ages 18 and 19, respectively, while continuing to cover the same treatments when provided to non-transgender youth. The coalition argues that since the creation of Medicaid and CHIP in the 1960s, Congress has reserved to states the authority to determine which services are covered under their programs, and that HHS and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services lack statutory authority to categorically exclude medically necessary services from reimbursement based solely on the patient’s transgender status. The complaint alleges violations of the Administrative Procedure Act and the Spending Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The rule is set to take effect on October 13, 2026.

Multistate

  • A coalition of 48 states and territories, announced by Idaho Attorney General Labrador and others, reached a $29.6 million settlement with generic drug manufacturer Glenmark to resolve allegations that the company participated in a long-running conspiracy to artificially inflate prices, suppress competition, and unreasonably restrain trade in numerous generic prescription drugs, in violation of federal antitrust laws. The Glenmark settlement follows earlier settlements with Lannett, Bausch, Apotex, and Heritage totaling $66.95 million, and comes as the states prepare for a first trial anticipated to be scheduled in late 2026 in Hartford, Connecticut. As part of the agreement, Glenmark will cooperate in the ongoing multistate litigations against 33 corporate defendants and 25 individual executives and will implement a series of internal compliance reforms. Idaho is one of only two states in the coalition that also secured restitution for businesses—not only consumers—that were indirectly affected by the price-fixing scheme.

The coalition argues that the DoD’s “Wind Freeze” violates the Administrative Procedures Act and undermines state sovereign, economic, and policy interests.
  • A coalition of 20 attorneys general sent a letter to federal financial regulators to raise concerns about granting national banking charters to financial tech (“fintech”) companies without adequate safeguards to protect consumers and the financial system. The coalition warned that some fintech lenders use predatory tactics to target the financially vulnerable in violation of state laws and that extending banking privileges to cryptocurrency firms and emerging platforms could add risk to the financial system unless safeguards are implemented.
