Connecticut Attorney General William Tong filed a brief on April 29, 2026, urging the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) to reject Eversource’s request for $340 million in interest payments on nearly $1 billion in unvetted storm costs from 2018 to 2023. This press release does not describe a privacy-related enforcement action, as no data privacy violations are alleged, and no final enforcement action has been taken against Eversource. The matter involves utility cost recovery and regulatory advocacy, not privacy compliance.
This matter does not involve privacy violations, so no privacy-related contract clauses require review. In-house legal teams in the energy and utility sectors may wish to review cost recovery, regulatory filing, and delay-related clauses in agreements with regulators or contractors, but this is outside the scope of privacy enforcement contract review.

On May 11, 2026, Connecticut Attorney General William Tong led a bipartisan coalition of 21 attorneys general in submitting a comment letter to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) urging the agency to abandon draft guidance that would ease approvals for flavored e-cigarette products. The coalition argues the guidance ignores evidence that flavored e-cigarettes disproportionately drive youth addiction and that FDA has failed to enforce existing authorization requirements for e-cigarette products. The letter references past tobacco and e-cigarette enforcement actions, including the 1998 tobacco master settlement agreement and the 2022 $438.5 million settlement with JUUL Labs.
Connecticut’s legislature passed House Bill 5312, creating new civil enforcement mechanisms for deepfake digital sexual assault, including unauthorized dissemination of synthetically created intimate images and AI-generated child pornography. The bill establishes a private right of action for victims and empowers the Connecticut Attorney General to pursue civil injunctions and penalties against abusers and platforms hosting illegal content. This builds on prior Connecticut laws criminalizing unauthorized intimate image dissemination.
