  • A multistate coalition of 22 attorneys general submitted a comment letter urging the Trump Administration to withdraw a proposed information collection request associated with Executive Order 14398, “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors.” The proposed collection would impose reporting, recordkeeping, and information-sharing obligations on federal contractors and subcontractors in connection with a new prohibition to be included in federal contracts related to DEI activities. The coalition argued that the proposed collection would violate the Paperwork Reduction Act, that the public notice did not provide enough information for meaningful public comment and underestimated the burden on contractors, and that the proposal does not establish adequate protections for sensitive and personally identifiable information.

New York

  • New York Attorney General James secured a settlement exceeding $3.9 million from Xponential Fitness, Inc. and its current and former subsidiaries, resolving allegations that the company violated New York’s Franchise Sales Act by providing prospective franchise owners with materially misleading estimates of how long it would take to open new studio locations. OAG’s investigation found that while Xponential consistently disclosed opening timelines of three to six months in Franchise Disclosure Documents filed with the state, the company simultaneously reported substantially longer timelines—as many as 15 months—in annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The $3,971,250 settlement will be distributed entirely as restitution to impacted franchisees, with $3,000,000 allocated among 70 franchisees who experienced longer-than-disclosed opening delays and $971,250 paid to 25 franchisees who were ultimately never able to open their studio locations.

  • A bipartisan coalition of 34 attorneys general filed a remedies proposal in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking to require Live Nation to divest Ticketmaster and certain Live Nation-owned amphitheaters. The proposal follows a jury verdict finding Live Nation/Ticketmaster liable for anticompetitive conduct that harmed consumers and the live music industry. The coalition argues that these structural remedies are necessary to end Live Nation’s illegal monopoly, prevent it from continuing to use its amphitheater ownership to exclude rival promoters and pressure artists, and protect consumers because prior behavioral remedies failed to stop the company’s unlawful conduct.
