  • 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.

  • A bipartisan coalition of 45 state attorneys general submitted a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor urging the agency to impose new transparency requirements on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) — third-party intermediaries that administer prescription drug benefits on behalf of insurers and exercise control over which drugs are covered and how much they cost for nearly all Americans with health insurance. The coalition called on the Labor Department to mandate that PBMs disclose how they generate revenue on a biannual basis and to allow employers that fund health insurance plans to conduct independent audits of PBM operations. The attorneys general also urged the Department to clarify that any new federal transparency rule would not preempt existing state PBM regulations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) — a federal statute that PBMs have previously invoked in efforts to avoid state oversight.

  • A coalition of 38 attorneys general filed an amicus brief in support of Massachusetts’ lawsuit against the prediction market platform Kalshi for offering illegal sports betting in violation of Massachusetts’ gambling laws. Primarily a sports gambling platform, Kalshi argues that the bets it offers are financial instruments that should be regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), thus preempting state regulations and legalizing the operations nationwide. State attorneys general assert in their brief that behaviors of prediction markets like Kalshi are subject to states’ gambling laws, noting that this is a vital consumer protection issue.

In mid-April 2026, a bipartisan coalition of 45 State Attorneys General (AG) submitted a formal letter to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) expressing their collective support for a proposed rule (Improving Transparency into Pharmacy Benefit Manager Fee Disclosure, or RIN 1210-AB37). If enacted as drafted, the rule will require pharmacy benefit managers (PBM) to disclose their compensation arrangements to plan sponsors as a condition of satisfying the “reasonableness” requirement of ERISA’s prohibited transaction exemption — effectively embedding fee transparency into routine pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) contracting procedures.
