Attorney General Jay Jones joined a coalition of 24 attorneys general in filing a comment letter opposing a proposed CMS rule that the coalition says oversteps federal law, could put Medicaid funding at risk, and interfere with state regulation of health insurance. The coalition urges CMS to withdraw or significantly revise the proposed rule.
This is not a privacy enforcement action; it concerns a proposed CMS rule on Medicaid and insurance regulation. In-house legal teams for state agencies or health insurers should monitor the rulemaking and review contracts with CMS, state Medicaid agencies, and health insurance carriers for provisions related to funding, taxes, and regulatory compliance. They should also assess whether any contract clauses could be affected by changes to federal Medicaid funding or state insurance oversight.

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones joined a multistate coalition submitting a comment letter opposing proposed changes to the 2030 Census. The release describes a policy challenge, not a privacy enforcement action, and reports no fine or enforcement remedy.
Virginia’s Attorney General joined a multistate lawsuit challenging a federal Medicaid rule that made it harder for medically vulnerable people to qualify for exemptions from work requirements. The court found the definition of medical frailty unlawful, vacated that language, and issued a permanent injunction; the release does not state the court decision’s date, so the release date is used as a proxy.

General Motors agreed to a $220 million settlement with a coalition of 36 attorneys general over allegations that it sold consumers’ driver behavior and location data to third parties, including data brokers that resold it to insurers.

Virginia joined a multistate lawsuit challenging a FinCEN rule that exempts nearly all businesses from beneficial-ownership reporting and the agency’s plan to delete ownership information already collected.

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones joined a coalition of attorneys general in filing an amicus brief challenging DHS’s practice of conducting warrantless civil immigration arrests without determining whether individuals are likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained. The release reports that a district court had previously granted a preliminary injunction in the underlying case; it does not report a penalty or a new remedy imposed on DHS by this brief.
