AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Student Loan Lawsuit Wave: Rhode Island is in the middle of a fast-growing legal fight over a new U.S. Department of Education rule that narrows which “professional degree” programs qualify for federal student loans—an effort led by attorneys general and governors, with Jay Jones and others suing to block the limits for healthcare and other critical workforce fields. Privacy vs. Federal Pressure: The First Circuit refused to stop Rhode Island Hospital from transferring transgender youth medical records to a Texas court, keeping the fight alive even as the records move under court custody. Statehouse Watch: Rhode Island lawmakers also pushed practical public-safety legislation—bars and nightclubs would have to offer anti-drugging drink lids starting in 2027, clearing both chambers despite industry concerns. Local Life: Warwick’s outdoor rink is getting bumper cars and roller skating this summer, while a Rhode Island pond shark sighting ended with a porbeagle shark beaching and dying.
