Each week, Crowell & Moring’s State Attorneys General team highlights significant actions that State AGs have taken. See our State Attorneys General page for more insights. Below are the updates from June 12-18, 2025

Multistate

• A multistate coalition of 55 State Attorneys General, representing all US states and territories, announced a $7.4 billion settlement with Purdue Pharma, the manufacturer of OxyContin and other synthetic opioids, and the Sackler Family, Purdue’s owners. The settlement would resolve all pending litigation against the Sacklers and the family’s pharmaceutical company for their involvement in the opioid crisis in the United States. Most of the settlement funds are earmarked to support addiction recovery in impacted communities throughout the country. This announcement comes about year after the Supreme Court struck down the last proposed nationwide settlement with Purdue Pharma, finding that the U.S. Bankruptcy Code would not allow Purdue to shield members of the Sackler family from liability.  
• A multistate coalition of 19 State Attorneys General filed an amicus brief in the Southern District of New York in support of Jobs Corps—a national job training and vocational program. The Jobs Corps program, which the Trump Administration attempted to dismantle last month, provides professional training and housing to thousands of young Americans who are at risk of homelessness without the program. The amicus brief supported Jobs Corps’ motion for preliminary injunction against the department of labor’s elimination of the program.
