AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Coastal Enforcement: Rhode Island AG Peter Neronha sued Quidnessett Country Club to force removal of an unauthorized seawall on Narragansett Bay, arguing the club filled tidal areas and cleared vegetation without required approvals—an escalating fight over shoreline access and rule-following. Public Health: RIDOH is urging rabies prevention as more animals test positive, and DEM is kicking off state lifeguard certification testing for open-water jobs ahead of the busy season. Beach Season Prep: DEM says RI state beaches reopen May 23 for Memorial Day weekend, with lifeguards and amenities back and parking fees returning. Local Infrastructure: A section of the East Bay Bike Path in East Providence closes May 12–15 for wastewater force-main repairs. Energy Policy: A fresh renewable-energy budget fight is brewing as lawmakers weigh proposals that could slow Rhode Island’s clean power progress. Out of State, Big Impact: A NYU Langone grand jury subpoena signals a widening federal crackdown on gender-affirming care for minors.
