AGP Executive Report

Federal Courts vs. DOJ: A Rhode Island judge blocked the U.S. Department of Justice from getting medical records tied to transgender youth, calling the subpoena a “drastic overreach” and voiding it just as another deadline loomed for Rhode Island Hospital. Healthcare Accountability: The same week, Washington AG Nick Brown sued Providence Health & Services over alleged pregnancy and nursing workplace discrimination—claims Providence denied accommodations like private pumping space and flexible scheduling, and retaliated against workers who requested them. Crypto Policy in the Spotlight: Rhode Island Sen. Jack Reed is pushing amendments to the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act ahead of a Senate Banking Committee markup, while the bill’s future looks uncertain. Local Watch: Providence’s mayor-led push helped take down a mural honoring slain Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, after public backlash. Roads & Safety: A new study ranked Rhode Island among the worst states for poor roads, with 31.5% of evaluated road miles in poor condition.
