Wings of Fire FanWing Fest Featured in Publishers Weekly
Tui T. Sutherland's Wings of Fire FanWing Fest, an immersive festival spotlighting the popular dragon fantasy series with more than 30 million copies in print, was recently featured in Publishers Weekly.
As reported in the outlet, after debuting with a sold-out run last spring, the festival opened this year's five-city tour in Asheville, N.C. and will continue across the country throughout May and June.
Sutherlandand Scholastic Executive Editor Kieran Viola were both interviewed by Publishers Weekly, and Sutherland shared how special it is to visit with her readers and watch them form their own friendships with one another.
"I love meeting Wings of Fire readers, and my hope for FanWing Fest is that it's an opportunity for them to meet each other--they're all the sweetest, most creative people, and I want them to find their rainbow dragon book community together!" Sutherland said. "It makes me so happy to see everyone sharing their amazing art and costumes and love of reading. It gives me hope for the future, and I hope everyone who comes gets to feel that joy and connection, too."
Viola added, "FanWing Fest is a unique fan experience that speaks to Scholastic's ability to meet the ardent fans of Wings of Fire where they live. It really taps into readers' incredible enthusiasm for Tui and the fantastical world she's created and nurtured all these years."
This year's FanWing Fest is completely sold out. At each stop, readers will be transported to the world of dragons for the full day and have access to activities including face painting stations, coloring walls, trivia and game shows, a costume parade, exclusive merchandise, and the camaraderie of their fellow book lovers. They'll also have the chance to interact with Sutherland during official photo opportunities and enjoy a presentation from the author with an insider look into the hit book series. All attendees will leave with an exclusive poster signed by Sutherland in addition to one of four Wings of Fire books.

Employer Checklist for May 2026
Here are the top 10 workplace compliance items you should tackle in May 2026, based on the latest labor and employment law updates:
Equip yourself to respond to employee crises. Since May is Mental Health Awareness Month, it's a good time to train your managers and HR department on how to respond to serious and sensitive situations in the workplace. These eight practical steps can help your business support your employees and meet legal obligations.
* Catchup on the DOL's new joint employer proposal. The DOL just proposed a new rule to give businesses greater clarity and reduced liability around joint employer status under federal wage and hour law. Here's a comprehensive look at the proposal, plus industry-specific snapshots for staffing firms and tech employers.
Shore up your workplace policies for summertime. Whether the sunny season is a slower period or your busiest time of year, it can expose your business to risks related wage and hour compliance, workplace safety, and more. Stay afloat this summer by avoiding these top employer mistakes, and dive deeper with our recent compliance guides on hiring teens, protecting workers from heat dangers, and properly paying tipped employees.
* Don't miss recent changes to I-9 enforcement standards. Federal immigration officials quietly but significantly shifted how they will evaluate Form I-9 violations, and employers will have far less room to avoid penalties for routine administrative mistakes. Here's what changed and what you should do now.
* Keep up with PWFA enforcement trends and pay equity rules. A review of the EEOC's litigation activity related to the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act reveals key employer lessons that can help shape your PWFA compliance strategy. In addition, compliance with pay equity and transparency laws is becoming increasingly complex, and the stakes are getting higher as the penalties for violations rise. Check out our practical employer guide to federal, state, and local pay equity trends.
Reminder for California Employers: Pay data reports for the 2025 reporting cycle are due May 13 - find what's new this year and what's changing in 2027.
* Get to know new NLRB nominee and labor law changes on the horizon. President Trump nominated James Macy on April 13 to fill a vacancy on the National Labor Relations Board, and, if confirmed, the Board will have something it hasn't had since Trump took office: a functioning three-member Republican majority. Here are the top labor policy shifts we expect - even if the changes could still take some time to arrive.
* Learn how a family farm's fight could be a win for all employers. The Supreme Court just picked up a case that will decide whether the DOL is allowed to impose financial penalties on agricultural employers for alleged violations of the H-2A temporary visa program. The case began when a family farm in New Jersey was hit by the agency's demand for over $500K following an investigation into its H-2A practices - but it could end in a huge win for all employers. Learn more here.
* Listen to our latest podcast episodes! New episodes of "The FP5: Five Things for Your 9-5" are released each Thursday, and you can subscribe using your preferred podcast platform. Last month, our attorneys discussed remote work accommodations (April 2), whether your AI chat histories can be used against you in court (April 9), California bills that could reshape workplace law nationwide (April 16), the realities of workplace violence (April 23), and why your cybersecurity playbook is probably outdated (April 30).

- President Trump issued an executive order on April 3 that seeks to mandate new eligibility, transfer, and athlete agent regulations for college athletics by August 1 - here's what your athletic department needs to know.
- Federal contractors can learn key lessons from IBM's recent $17 million settlement with the Department of Justice over what the Trump administration deemed "illegal" workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities. In addition, a minimum wage hike will soon kick in on May 11 for a narrow group of federal contractors.

- Private clubs must manage member harassment risks. Think employment laws don't apply to your private club? Think again. Plus, a recent DOL independent contractor proposal offers clarity to private membership clubs.
- International filmmakers must ensure that cast and crew are properly authorized to work in any chosen location. That's why we created A Producer's Guide to Visa Requirements in Top 5 International Filming Locations.
- Trucking companies should be aware of a recent appeals court ruling - the latest in the saga over whether the Mine Safety and Health Administration has jurisdiction over businesses that provide trucking and hauling to mining operations. Catch up here.
* Check for state-specific updates and upcoming effective dates like these:

- California pay data reports for the 2025 reporting cycle are due May 13, 2026 - find what's new this year and what's changing in 2027. Plus, could a new privacy law coalition help curb digital wiretapping litigation in the state?
- Colorado's impending AI law, which was set to take effect June 30, 2026, was just temporarily blocked by a federal court ruling. Here's what employers should know while we wait for a final resolution.
- Illinois employers with at least 16 employees must be ready to comply with the state's Family Neonatal Intensive Care Leave Act, which kicks in on June 1, 2026.
- The Missouri Supreme Court issued a ruling on April 21 that employers can use as a legitimate procedural tool to help defend against costly workplace claims. Learn what the decision means for your business.

Fisher Phillips Issues Insight: Colorado's Impending AI Law Thrown Into More Doubt By Court Ruling: What Will Happen Before June 30 Effective Date?
ATLANTA, Georgia, May 2 -- Fisher Phillips, a law firm, issued the following insight on May 1, 2026:

Colorado's Impending AI Law Thrown Into More Doubt By Court Ruling: What Will Happen Before June 30 Effective Date?
A federal court just ordered Colorado not to enforce the impending AI law set to take effect on June 30 that otherwise would have upended the way employers use AI in the workplace. The April 27 ruling is just the latest roadblock that the long-delayed law has faced, coming off the heels of a March proposal to completely rewrite the bill and delay its effective date until 2027.

Colorado's Impending AI Law Thrown Into More Doubt By Court Ruling: What Will Happen Before June 30 Effective Date?
A federal court just ordered Colorado not to enforce the impending AI law set to take effect on June 30 that otherwise would have upended the way employers use AI in the workplace. The April 27 ruling is just the latest roadblock that the long-delayed law has faced, coming off the heels of a March proposal to completely rewrite the bill and delay its effective date until 2027.The court order temporarily blocks the state from taking any enforcement action while protecting employers from any investigation or penalties for any alleged violations that take place until the court can more fully decide on whether the law should be permanently blocked. What do you need to know about Monday's ruling and what should you do while we wait for a final resolution?
Quick Resource Center
* Colorado passed the nation's first comprehensive AI antidiscrimination law in 2024, originally set to take effect February 1, 2026. The law aimed to impose sweeping obligations on both AI developers and the employers deploying those tools, including bias audits, risk impact assessments, and extensive disclosures.
* Almost immediately, the tech and business communities pushed back hard, arguing the requirements were unworkable and would stifle innovation.
* After failed attempts to revise the law during the 2025 legislative cycle, lawmakers pivoted and pushed the effective date to June 30, 2026.
* Governor Jared Polis convened a working group of technology industry representatives, consumer advocates, and business groups to find common ground.
* In March, the state working group released a sweeping proposed rewrite that would strip out the original law's most burdensome requirements (including mandatory bias audits), replace them with a streamlined transparency-and-notice framework, and push the law's effective date back to January 1, 2027.
Litigation Throws Another Monkeywrench at Law
Elon Musk's xAI teamed up with the US Justice Department - which has its sights set on limiting the ability of states to regulate AI on their own - to file a lawsuit against Colorado's pending AI law.
* xAI argued that Colorado's law unconstitutionally forces private AI developers to embed the state's preferred ideological views into its products. It contends that every editorial decision it makes in developing its AI products (like Grok) is protected speech under the First Amendment, and that the law would compel the company to redesign Grok to reflect Colorado's "controversial, highly politicized viewpoint" on racial equity. The complaint also challenged the law on Commerce Clause grounds, arguing that it effectively regulates AI development outside the state because it applies anywhere a Colorado resident is affected by an AI system.
* The DOJ filed a separate complaint alleging Equal Protection violations, warning that "embedding AI with state-mandated discrimination is a recipe for disaster." The government argued that the law effectively forces algorithm discrimination based on race, sex, and religion by requiring companies to monitor and correct for statistical disparities. Framing the stakes in national security terms, the filing warns that forcing American AI companies to "incorporate discriminatory ideology" into their models threatens US global competitiveness.
* Colorado's Attorney General even weighed in, agreeing with the two plaintiffs that the court should put the law on ice for now, especially since there was a good chance that state lawmakers could soon make wholesale revisions to the law.
What Did the Court Say?
Without weighing in on the substantive arguments above, the court granted a temporary restraining order to block the state from enforcing or investigating alleged violations of the law. Any actions taken by companies on or before 14 days after the date the court issues a final ruling on the expected motion for a preliminary injunction will not be subject to the Colorado law.
We expect to see the opponents soon file a more thorough request to block the law altogether, regardless of whether state lawmakers amend the law. The court said xAI and the DOJ should file new motions within 28 days after lawmakers pass amended legislation or if the state AG issues final regulations implementing the law.
What's Next?
The legislature wraps on May 13, so time is growing short for lawmakers to substantively revise the law before the June 30 effective date. But according to Bloomberg Law, bill co-sponsor Rep. Brianna Titone believes that the legislature will pass the rewrite before time runs out. We will keep an eye on the legislature and the litigation and provide updates as warranted.
What Should You Do?
While we play the waiting game, there are some common-sense approaches you should consider to best position your business.
* Audit your AI tools. Take stock of every AI-assisted tool involved in hiring, performance evaluation, compensation, or other employment decisions affecting Colorado workers. Understand what each tool does, how it influences decisions, and what data it uses.
* Conduct a bias audit. Just because Colorado might not require bias audits, they are still a good idea. Discrimination in employment decisions remains illegal under state and federal law, and we are seeing more discrimination lawsuits by applicants when employers use AI tools in the recruiting, screening, or interviewing process - regardless of whether the tool qualifies as an automatic decision-making tool (ADMT).
* Talk to your vendors. Ask your vendors now what they can provide: intended use cases, data categories, known limitations, and meaningful human review guidance. If they can't answer these questions, that's important information. Here are some other key questions to consider.
* Watch the legislature and the courts closely. The best way to stay up to speed is to ensure you are subscribed to the Fisher Phillips Insight system.
