State Treasurer Larry Pack, who serves as Chairman of the Hope Scholarship Board, today announced 26,617 students have applied for full-funding for the Hope Scholarship Program for the 2026-2027 school year. Using the latest application data available, the estimated cost of the initial applicationperiod for the program for the 2026-2027 school year is currently $155 million. The estimated cost will continue to increase throughout the year as applications are received for reduced funding amounts.
"We are so excited to welcome thousands of new families into the Hope Scholarship Program. Seeing the Education Savings Account nearly double in participation is a true indicator of the impact and popularity of the program," Treasurer Pack said. "Now our team turns their attention to helping these students get the resources they need to tailor their education towards their unique needs. Our goal is that West Virginia will continue to lead the nation in education innovation as we continue to build the program."
During the 2026 Legislative Session, the West Virginia Legislature and Governor appropriated approximately $277 million to the Hope Scholarship Program.
Existing private school and traditional homeschool students who had not previously been eligible for the program are now eligible due to universal expansion causing the increase.
A student application submitted within the following dates will receive the associated level of Hope Scholarship funding:
* June 16-Sept. 15: 75% of Hope Scholarship annual award amount.
* Sept. 16-Nov. 30: 50% of Hope Scholarship annual award amount.
* Dec. 1-Feb. 28: 25% of Hope Scholarship annual award amount.
The scholarship amount for the 2026-2027 school year is $5,435.62. Scholarship funds will now be distributed on a quarterly basis.

ALBANY, New York, June 23 -- The New York State Public Service Commission issued the following news release:
* * *
Additional New York City Area Code Activated to Accommodate Future Demand
New 465 Area Code for the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Marble Hill section of Manhattan
New Area Code Assignments Could Begin in the 3rd Quarter of 2027
-
The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) announced today that a new area code was activated on June 18, 2026, in the 347/718/917/929 area code region that will allow for the seamless availability of telephone numberswhen existing resources are exhausted, which is currently projected for the third quarter of 2027. With the addition of the new 465 area code, the region is now well-positioned to accommodate continued economic growth and growing consumer demand for telecommunication services.
As a result of a strong demand for telecommunication services in the New York City metropolitan area, the Commission approved a new area code in January 2025 for the area served by 347/718/917/929 using an area code overlay. An overlay occurs when multiple area codes serve the same geographical area. The new 465 area code will serve customers in the existing 347/718/917/929 area code region, which serves the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Marble Hill section of Manhattan.
The new 465 area code will not be available until all numbers from the existing 347/718/917/929 area code have exhausted. Once the existing telephone numbers in the region have exhausted, customers requesting new mobile or landline telephone service, an additional line, or a relocation of their service could be assigned a number with the new 465 area code.
The North American Numbering Plan Administrator's (NANPA) website provides general information about area code relief planning and exhaust forecasts for all area codes. NANPA's exhaust forecasts are subject to fluctuation based on increases and decreases in demand. Industry trends that can impact a forecast include, but are not limited to, increased telephone number demand driven by the use of devices, such as consumer electronic equipment, cellular phones, and security systems, that need their own individual numbers in order to connect to a telephone network. Visit NANPA's website at https://nanpa.com/npa-relief/npa-relief-planning to learn more.
The area code overlay requires consumers to continue dialing 10 digits (area code + 7-digit telephone number) for local calls in the 347/718/917/929/465 area or 1+10 digits for calls to other area code regions. However, in this instance, the activation of the new area code will be seamless for consumers in the 347/718/917/929 area code because 10-digit dialing has been required in the region since the first overlay for the region was approved in 1992.
Important facts that consumers and businesses need to know about the 465 area code overlay include:
* Current telephone numbers, including current area code, will not change;
* Calls which currently qualify as local calls will continue to remain local calls;
* The rate of a call, and the rates of other telephone services, are not affected by the new overlay area code;
* Calls to reach 911 Emergency Service will remain three digits;
* Calls to reach other local services currently available in the region, accessed through dialing 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711, or 811, will not change; and
* Telephone numbers in the 465 area code will not be available for assignment until remaining numbers in the 347/718/917/929 area code are exhausted.
Consumers should ensure that all services, automatic dialing equipment, applications, software, or other types of telecommunication equipment can recognize the new 465 area code as a valid area code. Some examples include life safety systems, fax machines, internet dial-up numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, speed dialers, mobile phone contact lists, call forwarding settings, voicemail services, and similar functions. All automatically dialed calls within the 347/718/917/929/465 area must be programmed to dial using 10-digits and the digit prefix "1" must be included for all calls to other area codes.

Mississippi Charity Revoked and Dissolved after Misuse of Charitable Funds
The Mississippi Secretary of State Charities Division has issued a Cease and Desist Order and Notice of Intended Actions against North Star Rescue, Inc. (a Mississippi non-profit corporation), revoked North Star Rescue's charitable registration, and dissolved North Star Rescue with the Business Services Division.
North Star Rescue should not be operating, and Mississippians should refrain from donatingto the Charity.
The Charities Division conducted an examination on North Star Rescue and determined approximately $20,000 of charitable funds received by North Star Rescue were used for non-charitable purposes.
For example, North Star Rescue made purchases at Xhale Smoke Shop, Game Stop, Roblox, Lash Studio, and Micro Wrestling.
The Charities Division gave North Star Rescue's officers and directors numerous opportunities to reimburse North Star Rescue for the misused charitable funds. The officers and directors of North Star Rescue failed to respond to the Charities Division and/or make the charity whole by reimbursing North Star Rescue for the non-charitable expenses.

Lexicon, Inc., Arkansas Economic Development Commission and State Leaders Celebrate Expanded and Renovated Headquarters at Ribbon Cutting
Headquarters renovation part of a broader $37.6 million investment that includes a 46,000-square-foot fabrication facility expansion and other improvements
-
Little Rock-based Lexicon, Inc. and the Arkansas Economic Development Commission (AEDC) today celebrated the completion of Lexicon's newly renovated headquarters - one componentof the company's broader $37.6 million expansion and modernization project in the Port of Little Rock - with a special ribbon cutting celebration featuring Lexicon officials and Little Rock and state leadership.
The headquarters project - designed by Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects and built by Nabholz Construction - includes a redesigned front entrance, 5,000 square feet of additional space, a new Owner's Cafe dedicated to Lexicon's employee-owners, a historic replica of founder Tom Schueck's office and other enhancements.
"This renovation was designed to celebrate the people and values that have shaped Lexicon for nearly 60 years," said Lexicon CEO Patrick Schueck. "From our employee-owners to our customers and partners, this space reflects who we are and where we're headed. We're proud to continue investing in our people, facilities and future here in Arkansas, and we're grateful for the support of the local and state leaders who have helped make that growth possible."
The investment also earned praise from Arkansas officials, including Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who highlighted Lexicon's long-standing commitment to the state and its workforce.
"Lexicon is an incredible example of what is possible in the heart of the heartland when you work hard, dream big and take advantage of all Arkansas has to offer," said Governor Sanders. "From their home garage nearly 60 years ago to the Port of Little Rock today, the Schueck family has invested in the people and state of Arkansas, and their latest expansion insists they'll be here for decades to come. Thank you, Patrick, and the entire team at Lexicon for continuing to choose the Natural State."
The headquarters renovation represents just one component of the broader expansion effort. The total scope of the renovation project includes a 46,000-square-foot expansion of Lexicon's fabrication facility, remodeling of the Sloane Drive building, which will house some of the company's Lexicon University internal training operations, and construction of a new production facility. In total, the renovation and expansion is expected to create 60 new jobs in Little Rock.
State officials noted that investments like Lexicon's strengthen Arkansas's industrial economy while creating new opportunities for workers.
"Lexicon has been an important part of Arkansas's economy for decades, and this investment reflects the company's continued confidence in Arkansas, our workforce and our future," said Secretary of Commerce Hugh McDonald. "Projects like this create jobs, strengthen Arkansas's manufacturing and construction sectors and help us compete at the highest level. We're proud to support investments that create opportunities for Arkansans and reinforce Arkansas's position as a leader in industry and innovation."
Attorney General Tim Griffin, who spoke at the ribbon cutting, said the project reflects the same people-first culture that has helped define Lexicon's success for nearly six decades.
"Lexicon's success has always been rooted in its people," said Griffin. "The company has built a culture that values hard work, loyalty and shared success, and that commitment continues to shape its future. This investment demonstrates strong, stable growth and is a reflection of the people and values that have made Lexicon an Arkansas success story for nearly 60 years."
Little Rock Mayor Frank Scott Jr. reiterated the company's importance to the city and the Port of Little Rock, where Lexicon has maintained its headquarters for decades.
"Lexicon's continued investment in Little Rock is exactly the kind of growth we are working to support across our city. As one of our major businesses at the Port of Little Rock, Lexicon represents what happens when local roots, strong infrastructure and a skilled workforce come together. This expansion strengthens Little Rock's position as a competitive industrial hub, creates more opportunity for Arkansas workers and reminds companies across the country that there is no better place to grow than right here in the capital city."

Hobbs Vetoes Bill to Stop Child and Revenge Porn Before It Spreads
Rep. Nick Kupper's Protect Act would have required commercial porn sites to verify age and consent before publishing sexual material
-
Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed legislation that would have required commercial pornography websites to verify the age and consent of every person depicted before publishing sexual material online. Only two Democrats in the Legislature voted for the bill.
House Bill 2133, the Protect Act, sponsoredby Republican State Representative Nick Kupper, was designed to stop child pornography and nonconsensual sexual material before it could be published, copied, and distributed beyond a victim's control.
The bill required commercial websites that publish or distribute sexual material to verify that each person depicted was at least 18 years old and had explicitly consented to the material's creation, distribution, and publication. Websites also would have been required to keep verification records and take reasonable steps to block unverified uploads.
Violators could have faced civil penalties of $10,000 per day and up to $250,000 when the material depicted a minor. Victims and the Attorney General also could have brought civil actions against violators.
Current law largely forces victims to seek removal after abusive material is already online. By then, it may have been downloaded, copied, and reposted across other websites and platforms. HB 2133 would have required commercial porn sites to verify age and consent before publication, when the harm could still be prevented.
Meta, Google, and the Free Speech Coalition did not oppose the final legislation. Hobbs nevertheless cited free-speech concerns despite language expressly protecting parody, comedy, artistic expression, political criticism, news reporting, and material used for public-interest, medical, scientific, or educational purposes.
"Governor Hobbs and nearly every Democrat in the Legislature chose party politics over children and victims," said Representative Kupper. "The Protect Act required commercial porn sites to verify two basic facts before publishing sexual material: everyone shown was an adult, and everyone consented. Apparently, that was too much to ask.
"Current law responds after the damage is done. My bill would have stopped unverified material before it went online and spread beyond a victim's control. Hobbs can hide behind a free-speech excuse, but the bill expressly protected satire, comedy, art, news, and political criticism.
"Consent is not optional, and protecting children should not be partisan. I will bring the Protect Act back next year, and hopefully we will have a governor who actually cares about protecting children from exploitation."

California Jobs First: A bold plan, realized locally
In February 2025, Governor Newsom released the California Jobs First Economic Blueprint - a new economic vision for California's future. The Blueprint, which is being implemented by the nine state agencies on the California Jobs First Council, outlines key initiatives to support regional growth, invest in 21st century job training, create an attractive environment for job creators and strengthen California's innovation economy - all to help increase access to good-paying jobs for Californians.
Through the California Jobs First initiative, nearly $1.6 billion in investment was generated in 2025, training over 142,000 workers and helping to create more than 61,000 new jobs. By accelerating economic growth and investing in regional strategies, the Golden State remains committed to expanding access to good-paying jobs for all Californians.
California's economic leadership
California's economy continues to outperform both the nation and global competitors. A recent report from the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) found that California's gross domestic product reached $4.3 trillion in 2025, representing 14% of the entire U.S. economy. Over the past 25 years, California's economy has grown by 90%, significantly outpacing national growth of 69%.
The Golden State is also driving national economic momentum. According to a recent Bloomberg analysis, California generated 40% of the U.S. stock market growth while accounting for less than 12% of the nation's population and captured two-thirds of all U.S. venture capital.
And when it comes to economic leadership, California leads the nation as:
* #1 in new business starts
* #1 in manufacturing
* #1 in venture capital funding
* #1 in high-tech business
* #1 in agriculture

PHOENIX, Arizona, June 23 -- The Arizona House Republicans issued the following news release:
* * *
Ben Avery Shooting Facility Protected from Closure Under New Arizona Law
Rep. Quang Nguyen's HB 2763 requires legislative approval before major state-owned shooting ranges may be closed
-
The Ben Avery Shooting Facility and other major state-owned public shooting ranges are now protected from unilateral closure under legislation sponsored by Republican State Representative Quang Nguyen and signed into law today.
House Bill 2763 requires approval from the Arizona Legislature before the ArizonaGame and Fish Commission may close certain state-owned shooting ranges located in or near large cities. It adds legislative approval to existing requirements for public hearings, commission approval, and action by the Governor.
The bill passed the House and Senate without a single Democratic vote.
Ben Avery is the largest publicly operated shooting facility in the United States and one of the City of Phoenix's designated Points of Pride. It serves tens of thousands of Arizonans through firearm safety training, hunter education, competitive shooting, recreational use, and law enforcement qualification.
"Ben Avery belongs to the people of Arizona, and no state agency should be able to quietly shut it down because development moved closer or political priorities shifted," said Representative Nguyen, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. "This law puts that decision where it belongs: before the public and the lawmakers they elect. Ben Avery trains responsible gun owners, supports hunters and law enforcement, and keeps shooting activity on a supervised range instead of pushing it into the open desert. Protecting this facility protects public safety, public access, and the rights of Arizona gun owners."
Ben Avery opened decades before much of the surrounding development and has served generations of Arizona shooters under the operation of the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Its established ranges keep shooting activity in a safe, supervised setting rather than pushing it onto unmanaged desert land, where it can create fire hazards, unsafe conditions, litter, and environmental damage.
