AG Coalition Files Comments Opposing EPA Rollback of 2024 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards Rule August 11, 2025 A coalition of 17 state attorneys general, the city of Chicago, New York City and the California Air Resources Board filed comments opposing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to repeal the 2024 Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Rule and revert to outdated standards that would harm the environment and public health. The MATS Rule implements nationwide standards that limit emissions of toxic air pollutants from coal- and oil-fired power plants, such as mercury and other toxic metals, acid gases such as hydrogen chloride, and formaldehyde. Given significant developments in the technologies used to control pollution, in 2024 the EPA updated standards for emissions of these hazardous air pollutants from power plants. The Trump administration is proposing to repeal those standards and revert to the standards as they existed in 2012. Environment/Climate Illinois; Minnesota

Multistate Guidance on Entities Holding Charitable Scholarship Funds for Protected Classes A coalition of 10 states released guidance on the rights and responsibilities of entities holding charitable scholarship funds for the benefit of members of protected classes such as race, religion, and gender.

In the guidance, the coalition explain the limitations of SFFA to privately funded entities and scholarships, and remind all entities holding charitable funds of their legal obligation to protect a donor’s intent regardless of the Trump administration’s threats.

AG Posture: Letters
AG Bonta Demands Independence of U.S. Department of Justice Following Politically Motivated Indictment of Attorney General James October 10, 2025 Following the indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James, California Attorney General Rob Bonta today demanded that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi reassert the long-standing independence of the U.S. Department of Justice and immediately end all politically-motivated criminal prosecutions. In a strongly worded letter, Attorney General Bonta reminded U.S. Attorney General Bondi that prosecutors have a solemn responsibility to wield power in a fair and impartial manner, always driven by the facts and the law. According to public reports, senior career attorneys at the U.S. Department of Justice and the then-acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, believed the case against Attorney General James was weak and did not merit presentation to a grand jury. Still, President Donald Trump engaged in a public pressure campaign against Attorney General James, culminating in yesterday’s indictment by a federal grand jury in Virginia.

AG Bonta Continues Defense of CFPB as Trump Administration Attempts to Shrink Its Responsibility to Protect Consumers September 22, 2025 19 attorneys general sent multiple letters to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), opposing a series of proposals that would dramatically shrink the Bureau’s supervisorial oversight of the markets for auto finance, consumer reporting, debt collection, and international money transfer services. The proposals all outline the CFPB’s intention to regulate only a small handful of companies in each of these markets, leaving consumers who use the vast majority of companies in these markets unprotected. The Trump Administration's proposals would limit the CFPB's oversight to as few as six consumer reporting companies, 11 debt collectors, four international money transfer providers, and five auto finance companies. Shortly after taking office, the Trump Administration launched a campaign of destruction and systemic shuttering of the CFPB, threatening catastrophic harm to hardworking families and consumer financial markets nationwide.

AG Bonta: Public Forest Lands Must be Protected September 19, 2025 Eight attorneys general submitted a comment letter opposing the Trump Administration's proposed rescission of the Roadless Area Conservation Rule (Roadless Rule), which would strip vital protections from approximately 44.7 million acres of national forest land. The landmark Roadless Rule prevents road construction and timber harvesting in the last unfragmented stretches of national forest land nationwide.
