AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Food & Health Policy: Rhode Island lawmakers have filed the Healthy Kids Act, which would require restaurants offering children’s menus to include two of five food groups (fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, protein, whole grains) and steer default beverages away from sugary drinks. Sports Betting Regulation: A bipartisan coalition of 41 state attorneys general, led by Ohio AG Dave Yost, urged the CFTC to recognize state authority over sports-related prediction markets, arguing platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi function like unregulated sportsbooks. Cannabis Regulation: Gov. Dan McKee nominated Michelle Reddish, the state’s cannabis administrator, to chair the Cannabis Control Commission; her nomination now goes to the Rhode Island Senate. Public Safety & Infrastructure: North Smithfield is set to receive $500,000 for police communication equipment upgrades, aimed at improving real-time coordination. Construction & Jobs: A national analysis from Associated Builders and Contractors reports construction unemployment rose in most states, citing energy-price pressure, insurance costs, labor shortages, and higher interest rates. Aviation Labor: Breeze Airways pilots picketed at T.F. Green amid stalled contract talks, seeking clearer work roles and retirement contributions. Life Sciences Construction: Gilbane broke ground on a $450M cancer-molecule manufacturing facility in Philadelphia, highlighting Rhode Island’s life-sciences construction footprint. Energy Costs: New England governors, including Rhode Island’s Dan McKee, asked federal regulators to reject a proposed electricity profit increase that could raise costs for households and businesses.
