Uri litigation to move forward in state court
OKLAHOMA CITY (Sept. 24, 2026) - The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has dismissed a petition from NextEra Energy Marketing that sought federal jurisdiction over issues raised in Attorney General Gentner Drummond's lawsuit against natural gas suppliers over price increases during Winter Storm Uri.
The dismissal, issuedyesterday, ensures the lawsuit can continue to move forward in Oklahoma.
"I am pleased the lawsuit will move forward in state court," Drummond said. "The level of fraud perpetrated on Oklahomans during Winter Storm Uri was staggering and unconscionable. While many companies conducted themselves above board, some bad actors reaped billions of dollars through fraud and need to be held accountable to the law."
Drummond has filed several lawsuits that have been consolidated against energy marketers alleging they artificially inflated natural gas prices during Winter Storm Uri in February 2021.

Attorney General Raul Torrez Calls on Congress to Protect Americans from Unchecked AI Development
September 24, 2026
Albuquerque, NM - Earlier today, following the New Mexico Department of Justice's formal letter to the University of New Mexico (UNM) regarding an attempted AI driven intrusion into UNM's digital library, Attorney General Raul Torrez called on Congress to immediately regulate the artificial intelligence (AI) industry. In a separate letter sent to SpeakerMike Johnson, Majority Leader John Thune, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, AG Torrez, and a coalition of 25 attorneys general, warn that recent incidents, including the attempted breach targeting UNM, demonstrate that unchecked AI development endangers Americans and poses growing threats to the nation's financial system, critical infrastructure, and national security.
The coalition urges Congress to quickly pass substantive legislation to regulate the AI industry to ensure that development occurs at an intentional pace, incorporates safety and transparency by design, and maintains states' ability to oversee the industry.
"Across the country, we're seeing undeniable evidence that the newest generation of AI systems can behave unpredictably and operate outside the boundaries developers intended," said Attorney General Raul Torrez. "Congress must take action now, and here in New Mexico we're preparing legislation to ensure these technologies are subject to meaningful safeguards before they put our communities at risk."
Several recent examples exist in which AI has behaved dangerously or illegally.
On May 25 and 26 the University of New Mexico (UNM) reported an attempted unauthorized intrusion into UNM's digital library by an autonomous artificial intelligence agent operated by OpenAI. While the reported attempts were unsuccessful, the incident fits into a growing pattern of "loss of control" events at frontier AI laboratories (including breaches, deceptive behavior, and circumvention of safeguards) that pose emerging risks to public institutions, critical infrastructure, businesses, and communities. The fact that one of these incidents reached a UNM system underscores the seriousness of these developments for New Mexico.
On July 16, Hugging Face, an open-source library and repository, reported that it was being attacked by an unknown third party. Within a week, OpenAI admitted that the attack was waged by its AI agents, which escaped a testing environment and infiltrated Hugging Face using stolen credentials. OpenAI was aware of the agents' capabilities and failed to monitor their activity or stop their exploits. The agents' actions, if perpetrated by a human, would have constituted criminal conduct.
Following the Hugging Face incident, Anthropic and Meta also acknowledged their AI agents had entered the open web and performed dangerous and unlawful actions. This agent behavior has been known to the industry for years and is a direct result of their training. Through a practice called "reinforcement learning," AI labs reward models' achievement of goals and penalize unsuccessful attempts, leading models to take reckless measures to complete the tasks they are given.
These reports have led to some of the AI industry's leading developers calling for regulation. OpenAI's Chief Global Affairs Officer called for "mandatory, capability-based national AI safety regulation." Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei urged the United States to lead international coordination of AI model development because this effort "will require government support."
Attorney General Torrez and the coalition are calling on Congress to take immediate action to ensure AI development does not lead to irreversible damage or further illegal behavior. In their letter, the coalition emphasizes that any AI regulatory scheme considered by congress must include:
* Federal oversight of safety testing and standards, led by experts in the field of AI model safety and backed by consistent performance benchmarks;
* Uniform and transparent government-led incident response with public findings that allow the industry to rapidly evolve in response;
* Safety infrastructure and experienced leaders to make critical safety decisions unburdened by profit maximization;
* International cooperation to pace AI advancement and prevent the development of harmful superintelligence; and
* A prohibition on preemption of state laws and full authority for state officials to enforce federal protections.
Joining Attorney General Torrez in sending the letter to Congress are the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, the District of Columbia, and American Samoa.

Attorney General Formella Announces $2.3 Million Multistate Settlement with Labcorp over the American Medical Collection Agency Data Breach
Concord, NH - Attorney General John M. Formella today announced that New Hampshire, as part of a coalition of 44 attorneys general, has reached a $2.3 million multistate settlement with Laboratory Corporation of America ("Labcorp") resolving the multistate investigation into the 2019 data breach at Labcorp's debt collector,Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau d/b/a American Medical Collection Agency ("AMCA").
"Consumers reasonably expect, and the law requires, that confidential information will be protected by both the provider and the provider's vendors," said Attorney General Formella. "This settlement reinforces the importance of companies knowing how their vendors handle sensitive information and taking appropriate steps to protect it."
The AMCA breach potentially exposed the personal information of more than 27.5 million individuals nationwide, including 10.2 million Labcorp patients. Of those Labcorp patients, 8,793 were New Hampshire residents. The multistate coalition previously settled with AMCA in 2021 after the company's bankruptcy petition was dismissed.
While the data breach occurred at AMCA, the information involved was sensitive data belonging to Labcorp patients. Companies may contract with vendors and delegate responsibilities to them, but data security remains the responsibility of the company entrusting its information to a vendor. Properly vetting vendors and ensuring that sensitive information shared with them is appropriately protected is a critical part of cybersecurity.
The settlement requires Labcorp to strengthen its information security and vendor-management practices, including requirements to:
* Develop certain aspects of its information security program, including an incident response plan that provides for internal reporting of vendor security events;
* Minimize the sharing of data with vendors while balancing the legal obligations of medical debt collectors;
* Expand its vendor risk-management program to include a dedicated team, tools to evaluate vendors, and processes to verify vendor compliance;
* Establish additional requirements for debt collectors as a specialized category of vendors, including maintaining contract inventories, enforcing cybersecurity standards through contracts, segmenting data that may be aggregated by debt collectors for multiple clients, requiring assessments and audits, and providing for termination in cases of non-compliance; and
* Hire a third-party assessor to conduct an information security assessment focused on vendor risk management.
As part of the settlement, Labcorp will pay $2,287,455 to the states, of which $16,535 is payable to New Hampshire. The settlement supplements a prior multistate settlement with AMCA that included a $21 million suspended payment due to the company's bankruptcy. Separately, Labcorp has agreed to a $35 million settlement in a related class-action lawsuit involving other AMCA client covered entities.

Attorney General Aaron M. Frey Urges Consumer to Claim Compensation for Inflated Generic Drug Prices
9/24/2026
Attorney General Frey, along with the Attorneys General of 47 other states and territories, announce preliminary approval of their plan to distribute funds to consumers following multiple settlements with drug manufacturers accused of conspiring to inflate prices of generic drugs.
AUGUSTA - Attorney General Frey is urging consumers to check their eligibility for compensation forcertain generic drug purchases and to submit a claim for compensation. This month, the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut granted preliminary approval of a plan, filed by Maine and a coalition of 47 other states and territories, to distribute settlement funds paid by generic drug manufacturers in exchange for settlement of claims that those companies illegally conspired to raise the prices of generic drugs.
The coalition previously announced settlements with the manufacturers Glenmark, Lannett, Bausch, Apotex, Heritage, and Heritage's parent company, Emcure, totaling approximately $96.5 million. The multistate coalition's distribution plan aims to return millions of dollars from those settlement funds to those potentially harmed by the elevated prices of the generic drugs that are the subjects of those settlements.
If you purchased a listed generic drug between May 2009 and December 2019, you may be eligible for compensation. To determine your eligibility, call 1-866-290-0182 (Toll-Free), email info@AGGenericDrugs.com or visit https://www.AGGenericDrugs.com. The deadline for submitting a claim is March 8, 2027.
Maine is part of a coalition of nearly all states and territories engaged in a series of antitrust cases, starting first in 2016. The first complaint included Heritage and 17 other corporate defendants, two individual defendants, and 15 generic drugs. The second complaint was filed in 2019 against Teva Pharmaceuticals and 21 of the nation's largest generic drug manufacturers. The complaint names 16 individual senior executive defendants. The third complaint, to be tried first, focuses on 80 topical generic drugs that account for billions of dollars of sales in the United States and names 26 corporate defendants and 10 individual defendants. The States filed a fourth complaint earlier this year, alleging that Novartis AG, Sandoz Group AG and Sandoz AG, are liable for Sandoz's alleged conduct and for fraudulently transferring assets. Seven pharmaceutical executives have been cooperating to support the States' claims in these cases.
Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, U.S. Virgin Islands, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming joined in this announcement.

AG Jennings defeats Trump Administration's illegal attempts to defund Head Start and other programs
September 24, 2026
Attorney General Kathy Jennings has announced that the Trump Administration's unlawful attempt to defund Head Start and other programs in Delaware has been defeated in Court.
On Monday, September 21, the United States District Court for the District of Rhode Island granted a motion for summary judgement in favor of AG Jennings and her fellow plaintiffs, blocking theTrump Administration from implementing rule changes to the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) that would have resulted in the loss of critical childcare, healthcare, and educational programs in Delaware.
"This is nothing short of a colossal victory for the most vulnerable Delawareans," said Attorney General Jennings. "While it is shameful that this lawsuit ever needed to be filed in the first place, I am proud of this result; I hope it affirms that our office will stand up wherever we can to protect our state."
In July 2025, the Delaware Department of Education became aware that the Trump Administration, through the U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Social Services, issued notices that they were attempting to re-interpret language in PRWORA. The re-interpretation amounted to a chaotic reversal of bipartisan policy for the U.S. Departments of Education, Labor, Justice, and Health & Human Services; it barred safety net programs including Head Start, Meals on Wheels, and community health centers from serving children, seniors, and other individuals who cannot verify immigration status.
Following the notice of the proposed changes, Attorney General Jennings and a coalition of 22 other attorneys general filed a lawsuit to stop them from going into effect. In September of 2025, the Court entered a preliminary injunction against the Trump Administration, blocking them from implementing the rule changes.
Young children and their families would have lost access to essential services if funding was reduced or terminated; children would have lost educational, nutritional, and healthcare services, suffering long-term consequences, while many parents would have been forced to cut spending on other critical needs and may have needed to leave the workforce in order to care for their children. These impacts would have been particularly harsh in rural Delaware, where many families have limited access to education and childcare services.
Beyond Head Start, the Trump administration's proposed cuts would have jeopardized other education services in Delaware, including adult literacy programs; English language learning programs; and career/technical education programs in community colleges and all public school districts, including vo-tech and charter schools.
Altogether, the services in Delaware that would have been impacted by the proposed cuts comprised more than $11 million in federal grants, support more than 250 education programs, and serve more than 50,000 Delawareans of all ages.
Attorney General Jennings filed this lawsuit alongside the attorneys general of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawai'i, Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia.

DOVER, Delaware, Sept. 25 -- Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings issued the following news release:

AG Jennings announces $2.3 million multistate settlement with Labcorp over AMCA Data Breach
September 24, 2026
Attorney General Kathy Jennings today announced that Delaware, as part of a coalition of 44 attorneys general, has reached a $2.3 million multistate settlement with the Laboratory Corporation of America ("Labcorp") resolving the multistate investigation into the 2019 data breach at Labcorp's debt collector, Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau d/b/a American Medical CollectionAgency ("AMCA"). The AMCA breach potentially exposed the personal information of over 27.5 million individuals throughout the United States, including 10.2 million Labcorp patients of which 115,250 are Delaware residents. The multistate coalition settled with AMCA in 2021 after the company's bankruptcy petition was dismissed.
While the data breach occurred at AMCA, the data involved was the sensitive data of Labcorp's patients. While companies can contract with vendors freely and delegate authority, data security is a non-delegable duty. Vendor management remains one of the most challenging areas in cybersecurity, but it is critical that businesses properly vet their vendors and ensure that information shared with those vendors will be kept secure.
"Companies rely on vendors of all kinds to help them do business. But the responsibility to manage and protect consumers' sensitive personal information cannot be outsourced," said AG Jennings. "My office will continue to hold companies accountable when they fail to adequately safeguard consumer data, including when they fail to properly oversee their vendors."
Today's settlement stands for the premise that HIPAA-covered entities have a duty to protect personal and protected health information and oversee vendors entrusted with that information. The settlement provides strong requirements around vendor management, especially medical debt collection including:
* Developing certain aspects of the company's information security program, such as an incident response plan that includes internal reporting of vendor security events;
* Minimizing the sharing of data with vendors while balancing certain needs of debt collectors to meet their legal obligations;
* Expanding the vendor risk management program to include requiring a dedicated team, employing tools to evaluate vendors, and verifying vendor compliance;
* Adding specific requirements for debt collectors as a specialized subset of vendors, including maintaining contract inventories, enforcing cybersecurity standards through contract, segmenting data which is often aggregated by debt collectors for multiple clients, and requiring debt collectors to perform assessments and audits, and including the right of termination for non-compliance; and
* Hiring a Third-Party Assessor to perform an information security assessment with a focus on vendor risk management.
As part of the settlement, Labcorp will make a payment of $ 2,287,455 to the states of which $30,135 is payable to Delaware. This settlement will supplement a multistate settlement with AMCA itself which included a $21,000,000 suspended payment due to its bankruptcy. Separately Labcorp has agreed to a $35,000,000 settlement in the related class action lawsuit, which is still ongoing with other AMCA client covered entities.

TRENTON, New Jersey, Sept. 25 -- New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport issued the following news release:

New Jersey Joins Multistate LabCorp Settlement Over 2019 Data Breach Impacting More Than 400,000 New Jerseyans
September 24, 2026
TRENTON - Attorney General Jennifer Davenport and the Division of Consumer Affairs announced today that LabCorp will pay more than $2.2 million and strengthen its data-security practices under a multistate settlement resolving an investigation into a 2019 data breach that potentially exposed the personal information of more than 27.5 million peoplenationwide.
The breach occurred at Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, doing business as American Medical Collection Agency (AMCA), a third-party vendor LabCorp used to collect medical debts. The compromised information included sensitive data belonging to approximately 10.2 million LabCorp patients, including 417,308 in New Jersey. New Jersey joined 43 other states in reaching the settlement with LabCorp.
"Companies entrusted with consumers' sensitive health and personal information remain responsible for protecting that information when they share it with outside vendors," said Attorney General Jennifer Davenport. "Businesses cannot outsource their obligation to safeguard consumer data. This settlement reinforces the importance of carefully vetting vendors and maintaining strong oversight to ensure the information entrusted to them remains secure."
"Third-party vendors can create significant risks when they are given access to sensitive consumer information without adequate safeguards and oversight," said Christopher Peterson, Acting Director of the Division of Consumer Affairs. "Companies that collect and maintain consumers' personal information must have systems in place to assess those risks, monitor their vendors, and act when security deficiencies arise."
The settlement resolves the states' investigation into LabCorp's oversight of AMCA and establishes requirements intended to strengthen LabCorp's information-security and vendor-management practices. Although the breach occurred at AMCA, the compromised information included sensitive data belonging to LabCorp patients. The settlement reflects the principle that entities covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act have a duty to protect personal and protected health information and oversee vendors entrusted with that information.
Under the settlement, LabCorp must strengthen its information-security and vendor-risk management practices, including:
* Developing aspects of its information-security program, including an incident-response plan that provides for internal reporting of vendor security events;
* Minimizing the amount of data shared with vendors while accounting for debt collectors' legal obligations;
* Expanding its vendor-risk management program by establishing a dedicated team, using tools to evaluate vendors, and verifying vendor compliance;
* Imposing additional requirements on debt collectors, including maintaining contract inventories, enforcing cybersecurity standards through contracts, segmenting data, requiring assessments and audits, and providing for termination when vendors fail to comply; and
* Hiring an independent third-party assessor to conduct an information-security assessment focused on vendor-risk management.
As part of the settlement, LabCorp will pay $2,287,455 to the participating states, including $68,000 to New Jersey. The settlement supplements a 2021 multistate settlement with AMCA that included a suspended $21 million payment due to the company's bankruptcy. LabCorp also separately agreed to a $35 million settlement in related class-action litigation.
The investigation was led by the Attorneys General of Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Texas, with assistance from an executive committee consisting of the Attorneys General of Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, and Tennessee. They were joined by the Attorneys General of Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia.
Attorney General Davenport and the Division of Consumer Affairs were represented in this matter by Deputy Attorney General Iva Zovko, under the supervision of Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Section Chief Thomas Huynh and Assistant Attorney General Kashif T. Chand, within the Affirmative Civil Enforcement Practice Group of the Division of Law. Investigator Aziza Salikhova of the Office of Consumer Protection within the Division of Consumer Affairs conducted the investigation.
