Each week, Crowell & Moring's State Attorneys General team highlights significant actions that State AGs have taken. See our State Attorneys General page for more insights. Here are last week's updates.

Multistate

• A coalition of 11 state attorneys general petitioned the EPA to enact a rule that would create uniform labeling requirements across the country and preempt California's Prop 65. The AGs argue that a national, uniform set of requirements will reduce "needless, years-long litigation" and increase certainty among manufacturers and farmers about their compliance obligations.

• A coalition of 15 state attorneys general challenged a final rule promulgated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) which expands the definition of "lawfully present" to include beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This designation makes these individuals eligible for coverage under the ACA, which the coalition argues is unlawful.
