AGP Executive Report

Last update: 41 minutes ago

Transgender Youth Privacy: The First Circuit is weighing federal subpoenas seeking sensitive records of transgender minors, including records from Rhode Island Hospital. A Rhode Island judge quashed the hospital subpoena, while a Texas court upheld it. Kratom Regulation: Rhode Island has replaced a ban with a regulated market for adults 21 and older as poison centers logged 3,190 kratom-related reports nationwide in the first half of 2026. Medicaid Coverage: Rhode Island Medicaid has ended coverage of Wegovy, Zepbound and other GLP-1 drugs when prescribed solely for weight loss. Insurance Costs: Rhode Islanders who buy their own health coverage face an average 12.4% premium increase in 2027, with state aid announced. Quitting Support: A free app is now offering Rhode Island adults help quitting smoking and vaping.
