Utah Joins $773M national settlement with Albertsons over role in opioid crisis
Utah today joined a multistate agreement in principle requiring Albertsons to pay more than $773.7 million to resolve its role in fueling the opioid epidemic. Utah is expected to receive at least $10.7 million from the proposed settlement, adding to the more than $616 million the state is now projected to receive from national opioid settlements combined.
The agreement was reached through a multistatecoalition of attorneys general. The Office of the Utah Attorney General and the Utah Department of Commerce's Division of Consumer Protection collaborated on Utah's participation in the case.
Albertsons Companies Inc. operated Albertsons grocery stores and in-store pharmacies in Utah throughout the height of the opioid epidemic and continues to operate Utah locations today. While the parties have agreed in principle on the total payment to eligible state and local governments, negotiations over injunctive relief remain ongoing.
"Utah families are still living with the devastating consequences of the opioid crisis. Through litigation involving many states, we reached an agreement in principle with Albertsons in a national settlement over its role in fueling the opioid epidemic. We remain committed to pursuing litigation that protects Utah families and delivers meaningful results," said Attorney General Derek Brown.
Settlement funds will flow through Utah's opioid abatement fund, directing resources to communities for addiction treatment, recovery services, and prevention efforts.
"This marks a significant step forward in our commitment to supporting Utah communities impacted by the devastating effects of the opioid crisis. This settlement with Albertsons not only holds accountable those who contributed to this epidemic but also ensures that vital resources are allocated to address addiction, provide treatment, and ultimately save lives," said Margaret Woolley Busse, Utah Department of Commerce Executive Director. "We stand united in our mission to heal our communities and prevent further tragedies from occurring."

Attorney General Jackley to Participate in Congressional Roundtable On Lawfare Against America's Farmers and Ranchers
South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley participates Tuesday in a Congressional committee roundtable on how America's farmers and ranchers are being hurt by stringent federal regulations.
The U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is hosting a full committee roundtable titled "Farming on Trial: A Roundtable on the GrowingUse of Lawfare Against American Agriculture." The roundtable will examine how courts and litigation are increasingly shaping farm policy, with lawsuits and settlements driving regulatory outcomes rather than transparent, accountable lawmaking.
"As the Attorney General and as a landowner, I know South Dakota farmers and ranchers have been adversely impacted by federal laws that make little sense," said Attorney General Jackley. "I appreciate the invitation from Committee Chairman James Comer to advocate for our farmers and ranchers."
Other participants are Shad Sullivan, Private Property Rights Committee Chair, R-CALF USA, and Margaret Byfield, Executive Director, American Stewards of Liberty.
Tuesday's hearing starts at 9 a.m. CST in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C. It will be livestreamed at https://oversight.house.gov/

SHERRILL ADMINISTRATION KICKS OFF EARTH WEEK BY ANNOUNCING PARTNERSHIP WITH UNION CITY TO TRANSFORM VACANT BUILDING INTO PARKLAND
Department of Environmental Protection Acting Commissioner Ed Potosnak today celebrated the start of Earth Week 2026 by announcing the joint acquisition of the site of a vacant building in Union City, Hudson County, that the city will transform into a youth soccer field. The acquisition will help deliver critically neededrecreational space to one of the country's most densely populated communities.
Acting Commissioner Potosnak was joined at the site on Palisade Avenue by State Senator and Union City Mayor Brian Stack along with other state and local officials to mark the partnership with Union City and the DEP's Green Acres Program.
"Community revitalization happens one block at a time, one neighborhood at a time," Governor Mikie Sherrill said. "This project reminds us that Earth Week is a time to not only value the protection of open space and natural resources, but that green spaces come in all shapes and sizes and projects like this make our communities like Union City healthier and more livable. I commend Senator Brian Stack and Union City for partnering with the DEP to make this project possible, and for prioritizing the health and wellbeing of youth in our local communities."
"This Earth Week, the Sherrill Administration is delivering on its mission to revitalize communities and provide equitable access to open space," said Acting Commissioner Potosnak. "Green Acres has time and time again proven to be a transformative force for communities and families across the state - and this project is a testament to how local vision and state leadership bring to life the first park in one of the most densely populated communities in 15 years. This is what delivering for New Jerseyans looks like, and that's what the NJDEP will continue to do."
"This partnership exemplifies how state and local collaboration can transform communities," said Senator and Union City Mayor Stack. "In one of the most densely populated sections of our city, this soccer field will provide our young people with a safe, accessible place to play and grow."
Once completed, the soccer field will serve thousands of Union City youth and families in a neighborhood where access to outdoor recreation space is limited. The field will be the largest of its type in the northern section of Union City.
Earlier this year, the Green Acres State Land Acquisition Bureau and the Green Acres Local and Nonprofit Assistance Program partnered with Union City to acquire the property for $4,075,000. Through a joint ownership structure of 95% state and 5% city, the state's substantial investment in the acquisition frees up municipal resources to demolish the long-vacant, 17,000-square-foot building at the site and develop the new soccer field, creating opportunities where new recreation space has been limited.
"People living in overburdened communities are more likely to lack access to open space compared to other communities," said Alex Rivera, Chairman of the Garden State Preservation Trust. "NJDEP's efforts to create parks in urban areas is critical to ensuring New Jersey's kids have a place for fun, nature, and community. The good memories people will make here is our measure of success."
The Importance of Urban Open Space and Recreation
This project is part of the DEP's State Land Acquisition Bureau's Expansion and Creation of Urban Parks initiative, which focuses on increasing close-to-home open space and neighborhood parks throughout New Jersey. The DEP collaborates with local governments to meet community needs that align with local planning priorities, with emphasis on addressing recreation deficits in densely populated urban areas.
Outdoor recreation spaces support positive health and social outcomes by providing areas for fitness, relaxation, and community connection. With many communities lacking sufficient green spaces, tree coverage, parks, and outdoor recreational opportunities, DEP is committed to advancing equity and environmental justice in creating and expanding the state's open space and outdoor recreation opportunities.
"Green Acres is truly invested in these important partnerships," said Green Acres Director Martha Sullivan Sapp. "Working together with local governments and nonprofits is the best way to ensure close-to-home recreation and open space for all New Jerseyans."
As Union City moves forward with developing the new soccer field, the municipality may explore additional funding options through Green Acres. The program provides grants and zero-interest loans to municipal and county governments, and matching grants to nonprofit organizations for open space acquisition and outdoor recreation facility development.

What you need to know: California has delivered over $1 billion to deploy 11,600 clean trucks and buses across 2,000+ fleets -- cutting pollution and supporting businesses. Demand is surging, even as Donald Trump cedes America's clean transportation leadership to global competitors like China.
*
GovernorGavin Newsom announced today that California's Clean Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) has delivered more than $1 billion in funding to California clean truck and buses -- supporting more than 2,000 fleets, enabling the deployment of 11,600 clean vehicles, and accumulating 181 million miles statewide.
* * *
While Trump is busy gutting the investments that would build America's clean transportation future, California just hit $1 billion in clean truck and bus incentives, and we're not slowing down. With these investments, California is leading the way to cleaner air in our communities and economy that is built to compete on the world stage.
- Governor Gavin Newsom
* * *
"Reaching $1 billion in funding for clean trucks and buses marks a major milestone for California's efforts to reduce harmful pollution," said California Air Resources Board (CARB) Chair Lauren Sanchez. "It shows that our efforts are delivering real results -- improving air quality, supporting businesses, and reducing pollution in communities most impacted by freight and transportation emissions."
The incentive program anchors California's clean transportation adoption, and demand continues to surge -- nearly $200 million in incentive requests were submitted on the first day of the September 2025 funding round, followed by an additional reopening in December 2025. Funding remains available, and fleets are encouraged to apply through participating dealers.
What they're saying
To hear how California HVIP funds are making a difference, watch Spotlight on Success video with 4Gen Logistics and read what fleets are saying about HVIP:
"HVIP vouchers have helped our customers try before they buy," said Paul Gioupis, CEO, Zeem Solutions. "Many of the fleets that started with just one voucher are now expanding their electric operations nationwide."
"I'd tell anyone considering HVIP: It's worth it," said Abel Aranda, Arandateam Delivery, Inc., FedEx Ground Service Provider. The process was easy, the support was great, and the benefits are immediate. You save money, your drivers are happier, and you're helping move the industry forward."
"The fact that we're buying 61 more trucks, and another 20 after that, shows how strongly we believe in this transition," said Brady Matoian, CEO, OK Produce. "HVIP played a critical role in helping us take that first leap."
Incentives powering California's zero-emission freight future
California is continuing to accelerate zero-emission transportation with new funding available through HVIP, the state's primary incentive program for clean trucks and buses. Demand is surging, with $200 million requested on the first day applications opened last Fall
Funded mainly through California's Cap-and-Invest Program, formerly known as Cap-and-Trade, the incentive program saw participation skyrocket 177% from 2023 to 2024, marking record demand for clean and zero-emission trucks and buses. In February of this year alone, more than 200 HVIP-funded vehicles hit the road with the help of $31 million in incentives -- a pace that shows no signs of slowing in 2025.
Launched in 2009, HVIP helps fleets and businesses transition to zero-emission vehicles through point-of-sale discounts. The program remains a cornerstone of California's clean transportation transition.
California doubles down on clean transportation investments
Clean freight is only part of the picture. California is also building out the charging infrastructure that passenger vehicle drivers need because a complete clean transportation future requires both the trucks moving goods and chargers powering the cars.
In January 2025, California shattered its clean cars goal, surpassing 2.5M new ZEV sales -- showing that policy certainty creates resilient markets global investors can trust.
California is doubling down on its clean transportation leadership. In his January 9 budget, Governor Newsom proposed a new, nearly half-a-billion-dollar incentive program when matched with a required automaker incentive to accelerate ZEV adoption and respond to the loss of the federal ZEV tax credit, while supporting American automotive innovation at a critical moment--just as the Trump administration has abandoned the good-paying jobs of this global market.
Competing to win the future requires investing in clean energy technologies, strengthening partnerships with allies, and reducing dependence on China in critical sectors.
Instead, the Trump administration repealed key parts of the Inflation Reduction Act and Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and imposed broad tariffs that have raised costs for American consumers while straining relationships with close allies. Despite Donald Trump's efforts to cede the clean energy economy to China, California is ensuring American workers and manufacturers can compete and win in the industries that will define this century.
The Golden State's commitment extends beyond consumer incentives. In the latest Clean Transportation Program Investment Plan Update, the CEC allocated $98.5 million in light-duty zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure funding for fiscal year 2025-2026 to focus on Level 1 and Level 2 charging in locations with longer vehicle dwell times, including at-home charging with a specific focus on multifamily residences.
The CEC is also continuing to study infrastructure needs across the state, with the following planned for release later this year:
* New and ongoing ZEV infrastructure funding opportunities driven by the $98.5 million investment from the Clean Transportation Program.
* The third Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Assessment, as mandated by Assembly Bill (AB) 2127, which will assess California's EV infrastructure needs to meet demand.
* The next Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Deployment Assessment, as mandated by SB 1000, to assess whether charging infrastructure is disproportionately deployed.
The gold standard for American EV infrastructure
California is tearing down barriers to ZEV deployment, speeding up EV charging station installations, and deploying infrastructure in hard-to-reach and low-income areas.
Becoming an EV driver in California is increasingly getting easier. There are now over 200,000 public and shared EV charging stations statewide. EV chargers can be found at grocery stores, park-and-ride lots, and even gas stations, whereas shared EV chargers can be found at apartment complexes, workplaces, doctors' offices, sports facilities, and other parking areas with some level of restricted access. This statewide network of public and shared private chargers is in addition to the estimated 800,000 EV chargers installed in California homes.
