Attorney General Neronha urges PUC to reject Rhode Island Energy's push for profits
Attorney General Peter F. Neronha today announced that his Office has formally completed its advocacy on behalf of Rhode Islanders in Rhode Island Energy's distribution of energy "rate case" before the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), calling on the Commission to reject the Company's attempt to increase its profits while Rhode Islanders increasingly struggle to affordenergy costs. In June and July, the Office participated in 17 days of evidentiary hearings advocating on behalf of Rhode Island ratepayers, and recently submitted post-hearing positions to the Commission.
Periodically, Rhode Island Energy must petition the PUC to increase its base distribution rates in a rate review proposal, or a "rate case." According to Rhode Island Energy, a distribution rate case is needed "to reflect what it really costs to deliver safe, reliable energy" and "covers funding for critical infrastructure, better customer service, modern technology, and meeting state requirements." Importantly, distribution rates are also inclusive of the Company's Return on Equity (ROE), or allowed profits, for which the Company is seeking an increase from 9.275% to 10.75%. Overall, Rhode Island Energy is asking the PUC for an increase of more than $200 million in distribution rates for their gas and electric systems in the first year alone, and an additional increase in the second year.
"Rhode Island Energy would have you believe that their primary interest is seeking ways for you to save on your energy bill, but their true motivation is ensuring maximum profits," said Attorney General Neronha. "Rhode Island Energy makes money from investing in infrastructure, which means that their proposed capital investments require careful oversight. Within this rate case, the Company is asking to increase its profit margin to 10.75%. For comparison purposes, the 10-year Treasury yield is 4.63%. And if you think of it in terms of your 401(k), 7% is considered a good return. Investment in capital assets is driven, at least in part, by the opportunity for Rhode Island Energy to earn bigger profits. So, when you hear them talking about necessary investments in capital infrastructure, remember that they have the potential to make a significant profit for every capital investment.
"Rhode Islanders are being crushed under the weight of ever-increasing costs, including everyday items, housing, and of course, energy. For our part, my Office has intervened some 20 times before the Public Utilities Commission and Division of Public Utilities and Carriers fighting for bill credits, lower bill increases, reduced profits for utilities, and smarter longer-term investments that will better position us for a clean energy future. Conversely, Rhode Island Energy has pushed for huge capital spending on natural gas infrastructure, far more than National Grid, and continues to deprioritize climate goals despite clear evidence of the need to transition away from dirty fossil fuels.
"Proposals and decisions made by this company, or any company, which stands to profit from providing a basic necessity must be scrutinized to ensure the right choices are being made for Rhode Islanders, the environment, and generations to come."
In the Office's post-hearing briefs, Attorney General Neronha outlines several recommendations to the PUC including:
* Reject the Company's ROE of 10.75%, and more closely align ROE with the Company's actual cost of capital --below 8.25%;
* End Line Extension Allowances, which subsidize at ratepayer expense the cost for new customers to connect to the gas system and effectively incentivize fossil fuel use over cleaner energy options;
* Address the Company's slow roll of Time of Use electric rate implementation, which would help the environment and save customers money (the Company did not include a Time of Use rate proposal in the rate case, despite saying they would when pitching the benefits of the new smart meters);
* Require careful coordination and integrated planning between gas and electric businesses to achieve climate gains; and
* Ensure Rhode Island Energy's investments are prudent and that they are not wrongly seeking to charge Rhode Islanders for transition costs related to the 2022 sale.
The PUC must make its decision on the rate case by September 1, 2026.
RIAG Energy Advocacy
Advocating for ratepayers has always been a top priority for Attorney General Neronha. In 2022, the Attorney General fought to secure more than $200 million in value for Rhode Island ratepayers, along with mandated steps toward meeting Act on Climate goals, after challenging the approval of the sale of Narragansett Electric by National Grid to PPL Corporation, DBA Rhode Island Energy. The agreement provided for $50 million in ratepayer credits, and $43.5 million in discharge of bill amounts for low-income and protected residential customers, the cost of which would likely have been borne by ratepayers. In addition to this direct ratepayer relief, the Attorney General required that PPL forgo recovery of $103 million from ratepayers: $82 million in costs for new investments it will make as a result of the sale and $21 million of costs already incurred by National Grid.
Since that sale, the Office has regularly sought to hold Rhode Island Energy accountable and advocate for affordable energy prices through proceedings at the Public Utilities Commission (PUC). In September 2022, Attorney General Neronha advocated for the PUC to approve a plan to mitigate Rhode Island Energy's proposed rate changes for electric service, which were slated to take effect October 1, 2022. In February 2023, Attorney General Neronha asked the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to deny approval of a proposed plan submitted by Rhode Island Energy (RIE), where the company sought a 3% increase over the next twelve months in the average annual gas bill, arguing that the plan failed to adequately account for Act on Climate mandates to reduce and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.
On October 24, 2025, in response to bill credits proposed by Rhode Island Energy that undervalued by between $37 million and $39 million the amount owed to Rhode Island ratepayers following the sale, Attorney General Neronha filed a position paper and supporting expert testimony with the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to insist that Rhode Island Energy pay consumers what they are owed. As a result, Rhode Island Energy revoked the proposal.
Additionally, alongside attorneys general across the country, Attorney General Neronha has sued the Trump Administration to protect wind energy, including Revolution Wind, solar energy, electric vehicle infrastructure, and energy and related infrastructure funding, among other actions.

Attorney General Brown Sues Trump Administration for Unlawfully Demanding Personal Information of CDL Drivers
Administration Threatens to Withhold $10 Million in Federal Funding Unless Sensitive Information of Millions of Drivers is Turned Over
-
Attorney General Anthony G. Brown joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general and the state of Pennsylvania today in filing two lawsuits against the Trump administration for demanding production of a database of state-ownedrecords containing the sensitive personal information of millions of drivers s and threatening to terminate more than $10 million in federal funding to the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) if it refuses.
Attorney General Brown and the coalition filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which is an administration of the DOT and AAMVA, as well as a second, related lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The lawsuits claim the DOT, FMSCA, and DHS are violating multiple federal privacy laws, among other federal laws, by secretly setting up their own database with records extorted from AAMVA, with no guardrails on the use or sharing of drivers' Social Security numbers and other personal information, and no notice to the public.
"Once again, the Trump administration is trying to unlawfully seize Marylanders' personal data with no legitimate purpose, no safeguards to protect it, and no warning to the public or consultation with the states," said Attorney General Brown. "We are joining this lawsuit because this data belongs to the states, and the federal government cannot force another party to hand it over without lawful justification."
In 1986, Congress established the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) to provide states an efficient means of sharing information about commercial driver's license (CDL) applicants and determining if the applicant is licensed in another state. Since 1988, the DOT has contracted with AAMVA, a private nonprofit organization, to operate CDLIS for the benefit of the states.
To approve a CDL application, Attorney General Brown and the attorneys general explain in the lawsuits, states validate the driver's identity, medical fitness, immigration status and each applicant's licensing and driving history in any state where the driver could have been licensed. This important public safety work is the responsibility of the states, not the federal government. Once a license is issued, states maintain a record in CDLIS of each driver that includes personally identifiable information such as the driver's name, date of birth, Social Security number, driver's license number and the name of state that provided the record.
Despite the states owning the personal data stored in CDLIS, FMSCA sent a letter to AAMVA, making the unprecedented demand that AAMVA turn over data for every driver in CDLIS going back five years. When AAMVA voiced its concerns about the new directive, FMSCA made an explicit threat to terminate all of AAMVA's federal grants and contracts. Faced with that threat, which could shut down CDLIS altogether, Attorney General Brown and the coalition seek an emergency order to prevent the data from being turned over. Relatedly, DHS sent an administrative subpoena to AAMVA demanding the same data set.
Attorney General Brown has joined fellow state attorneys general in several legal challenges against the Trump administration's attempts to unlawfully use Americans' personal data for undisclosed purposes, including immigration enforcement.
Joining Attorney General Brown in filing this lawsuit are attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin, as well as the state of Pennsylvania.

Attorney General Brown Announces No Charges Will Be Filed in the February 16, 2026 Fatal Police-Involved Use of Force Incident in Baltimore County
Today, Attorney General Anthony G. Brown announced his decision not to seek charges in the February 16, 2026 fatal police-involved use of force incident that occurred in Woodlawn, Baltimore County, Maryland.
On Monday, February 16, 2026, at approximately 3:20 a.m., Baltimore County Police Department (BCPD) Officer DerekHadel responded to a 911 call reporting a vehicle sitting for a long time at the intersection of Security Boulevard and Whitehead Court in Gwynn Oak, Maryland. Officer Hadel approached the vehicle and observed a man, later identified as Samuel Brown, asleep in the driver's seat. Officer Hadel knocked on the driver's side window to wake up Brown. Officer Hadel told Brown to roll down his window. Brown reached over to the center console and did not roll down his window as instructed but instead turned on his windshield wipers. Officer Hadel opened Brown's door and asked him multiple times to exit the vehicle. Brown refused. Video footage shows that Officer Hadel appeared to forcefully close the vehicle door and walk back to his police cruiser. Brown exited his vehicle and approached the officer. Officer Hadel pushed Brown back and repeatedly told Brown to get back in his vehicle. Brown did not comply. Instead, Brown appeared to slap twice at Officer Hadel's hand, and he continued to approach the officer. Officer Hadel punched Brown in the face. Brown fell and his head struck the ground. Officer Hadel requested emergency medical services (EMS) and rendered medical aid to Brown until EMS arrived. EMS transported Brown to the hospital. After eleven days at the hospital, Brown was pronounced dead on February 27, 2026.
The Attorney General's Independent Investigations Division (IID) began investigating the fatal police-involved use of force incident on Monday, February 16, 2026, and concluded its investigation on August 10, 2026. After completing its investigation and evaluating all the available evidence, the Office of the Attorney General has determined that the subject officer did not commit a crime under Maryland law. Accordingly, the Attorney General has declined to prosecute the subject officer in this case.
A copy of the IID's detailed investigative findings and analysis of relevant legal issues can be found in its declination report.

AG Jennings sues Trump Administration to block unlawful demand for CDL drivers' personal information
Attorney General Kathy Jennings today joined a coalition of 21 attorneys general and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in filing two lawsuits against the Trump Administration to block an attempt to access State-owned records containing the sensitive personal information of 17 million drivers, and threatening to terminate more than $10 million in federal funding to theAmerican Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) if it refuses.
"The president is jeopardizing millions of working class Americans' privacy in service of an unrelated immigration agenda," said Attorney General Kathy Jennings. "The law is designed to protect motorists' safety but it's also designed to protect licensees' privacy--even from the President. We all deserve that protection. We will continue to block this President's attempts to violate the law and the separation of powers."
"Instead of addressing the affordability crisis facing American families, President Trump is once again trying to force states to hand over sensitive personal information about law-abiding residents," said Governor Matt Meyer. "Attorney General Jennings and I will not stand by while Washington tramples privacy rights and exceeds its lawful authority. We will continue defending the freedoms and constitutional protections Delawareans deserve."
Jennings and the coalition filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which is an administration of the DOT and AAMVA, along with a second, related lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The lawsuits claim the DOT, FMCSA and DHS are violating multiple federal privacy laws by secretly setting up their own database with records extorted from AAMVA, with no guardrails on the use or sharing of drivers' Social Security numbers and other personal information, and no notice to the public. The lawsuit also alleges that the demand violates federal law because the federal government has no legitimate need to take over this database of state records, and it failed to consult the states before making this drastic change.
In 1986, Congress established the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) to provide states an efficient means of sharing information about commercial driver's license (CDL) applicants and determining if the applicant is licensed in another state. Since 1988, the DOT has contracted with AAMVA, a private nonprofit organization, to operate CDLIS for the benefit of the states.
To approve a CDL application, states validate the driver's identity, medical fitness, immigration status and each applicant's licensing and driving history in any state where the driver could have been licensed. This important public safety work is the responsibility of the states, not the federal government. Once a license is issued, states maintain a record in CDLIS of each driver that includes personally identifiable information such as the driver's name, date of birth, Social Security number, driver's license number and the name of state that provided the record.
Despite the states owning the personal data stored in CDLIS, FMCSA sent a letter to AAMVA, making the unprecedented demand that AAMVA turn over data for every driver in CDLIS going back five years. When AAMVA voiced its concerns about the new directive, FMCSA made an explicit threat to terminate all of AAMVA's federal grants and contracts. Faced with that threat, which could shut down CDLIS altogether, AAMVA told the states it would comply with the federal government's demand, requiring the states to seek an emergency order to prevent the data from being turned over.
Delaware has mounted several challenges against the Trump administration's attempts to unlawfully use Americans' personal data for undisclosed purposes, including immigration enforcement. Last week AG Jennings sued to block the Administration's efforts to collect sensitive information of participants in the Temporary Assistance For Needy Families (TANF) program.
Through the spring of 2026, Gov. Meyer and AG Jennings repeatedly went to court to fight a federal subpoena of sensitive employment information about local businesses, targeting those with Spanish language names, and their employees.
In August 2025, AG Jennings successfully sued to stop Medicaid's efforts to share confidential health data with the Department of Homeland Security for immigration enforcement purposes.
In March 2026, Jennings successfully sued the Trump Administration for demanding that higher education institutions provide detailed data on students that would jeopardize their privacy.
In July 2025, AG Jennings successfully sued to block a federal attempt to collect sensitive information of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) beneficiaries.
In July 2025, AG Jennings successfully sued to stop Elon Musk's so-called "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) from unauthorized access to sensitive Treasury Department records.
AG Jennings twice led, in August and November of 2025, successful litigation to block the Trump Administration's efforts to cut $20 million in victim assistance funds unless the state implemented unrelated and unenforceable immigration restrictions.
AG Jennings has preserved more than $300 million in federal funds to Delaware by contesting other immigration-based conditions on federal funds for transportation, education, emergency management, and domestic violence shelters.

DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 14 -- Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird issued the following news release:

Attorney General Brenna Bird Announces Win in Protecting Iowa Homeowners
*
DES MOINES-Attorney General Brenna Bird today announced a victory for Iowa homeowners in a case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The judge affirmed that Iowa's laws banning residential contractors from acting as public adjusters are constitutional.
When storm damage hits a home, homeowners often find themselves caught between insurance companies and repair contractors. Iowa passed strict lawsto prevent roofers and contractors from "double-dipping" by serving as both the repair contractor and the public adjuster on the same residential real estate project.
Public adjusters are professionals who act for and aid an insured in negotiating or affecting the settlement of a first-party insurance claim. Under Iowa law a public adjuster must be properly licensed.
An Iowa residential contractor, Shamrock Hills, LLC, sued state officials after receiving warning notices for business activities consistent with unlicensed public adjusting. The company alleged that Iowa's laws violated the First Amendment and were unconstitutionally vague. The Eighth Circuit court largely disagreed, dismissing the challenges.
"Owning a home is a dream for many Iowans, but that dream can turn into a nightmare if they are scammed by people who are supposed to be there to help when their home needs repairs," said Attorney General Bird. "Iowa's public adjusting laws are written to protect homeowners. I'm grateful for the Court's decision. If you suspect you've been a victim of contractor or insurance adjuster fraud, contact my office."
This ruling protects Iowa homeowners in three important ways:
* Eliminates Conflicts of Interest: A contractor who also acts as an insurance negotiator has a direct financial interest in inflating insurance claims to maximize their own repair payout. Keeping those roles separate protects homeowners from predatory practices.
* Prevents Unlicensed Insurance Practices: Adjusting an insurance claim requires specific training and licensure under Iowa law. The ruling prevents contractors from taking over policy negotiations without meeting legal standards.
* Saves Homeowners from Illegal Contracts: Under Iowa law, contracts that violate those rules can result in heavy fines-up to $40,000 per violation-against predatory contractors. The ruling reinforces state enforcement to keep bad actors out of neighborhoods after severe weather.
If you or someone you love has been a victim of contractor or insurance fraud, contact the Attorney General's Office at 1-515-281-5926 or through the website at iowaattorneygeneral.gov.
