AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Medicare Advantage Oversight: Brown researchers say CMS can punish insurers for denying or delaying care, but enforcement often leans on smaller penalties that may not deter repeat violations—raising fresh questions about how seriously regulators are policing the fast-growing private Medicare market. Gun Law Fight: Michigan AG Dana Nessel joined 22 states in pushing back on a USPS proposal that would let certain firearms move through the mail across state lines, arguing the long-standing ban hasn’t been ruled unconstitutional. RI Courts & Clergy Abuse: The Rhode Island Senate Judiciary Committee is set to consider asking the state Supreme Court for an opinion on a bill that would revive expired civil sexual abuse claims against institutions, with a “revival window” proposed for 2026–2028. Local Governance: The AG says Quonset Development Corp. was within its rights to meet behind closed doors when approving a lease tied to a sewage sludge processing plant—though the ruling also urges more transparency going forward. Public Safety/Health: Southern New England medical systems are gearing up for World Cup crowds with plans for infectious disease risks, trauma, and overdose surges. Business & Community: Washington Trust adds tech/cybersecurity leader Jeffrey M. Wilhelm to its board, while Rhode Island Football opens 2026 season ticket sales.
