☆ 24 Republican-led states sue Biden administration over water regulations
  + stars: | 2023-02-16 | by ( Clark Mindock | Industry Insight | Recommended Change Management Practices To Plan | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The Biden administration rule would protect wetlands and seasonal streams, not just permanent waterways like the rivers and lakes they feed into. Those smaller waterways were largely eliminated from protections by a Trump administration rule. The Biden administration signaled its intent to replace that rule in June 2021. The Trump-era rule had been vacated by an Arizona federal court in August 2021, which restored previous standards while the Biden administration worked on its changes.

☆ 22 attorneys general say pulling abortion pill from U.S. would have 'devastating consequences'
  + stars: | 2023-02-10 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The attorneys general from 21 states and Washington, D.C., on Friday argued that the attempt to pull the abortion pill from the U.S. market would have "devastating consequences" for women. "This would have devastating consequences," the attorneys general told Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, who is presiding over the case in the U.S. District Court in Northern Texas. He ordered one of the abortion pill makers, Danco Laboratories, to lay out its opposition to the lawsuit. New York led the coalition of state attorneys general and Washington, D.C., in arguing to keep mifepristone on the market. GenBioPro, the other abortion pill manufacturer, is suing to overturn West Virginia's ban.
☆ Judge extends deadline in lawsuit seeking to pull abortion pill mifepristone from U.S. until Feb. 24
  + stars: | 2023-02-10 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
A federal judge in Texas has extended until Feb. 24 the deadline in a lawsuit seeking to overturn the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the abortion pill. The abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America, in an analysis published Friday, said 40 million women would lose access to the abortion pill if the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine succeeds and mifepristone is effectively banned. It would also weaken the FDA's drug approval powers and hinder drug development by creating regulatory uncertainty in the marketplace. Two separate lawsuits are also seeking to overturn state restrictions on mifepristone, arguing that they conflict with FDA regulations. Republican attorneys general in 20 states also recently warned CVS and Walgreens against mailing the abortion pill in their states, indicating that they would take legal action.
☆ How recent lawsuits could affect access to abortion pills

In one, generic mifepristone maker GenBioPro is asking a federal judge to block West Virginia, which has a near-total abortion ban, from prohibiting sales of the pills. The state is one of 16 that allow abortion under some circumstances, but impose additional restrictions on mifepristone that make it harder to access. WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE TEXAS PLAINTIFFS WIN? IS A WIN BY TEXAS PLAINTIFFS LIKELY? The West Virginia lawsuit makes a more novel legal argument, since West Virginia's abortion ban applies to all abortions and does not specifically regulate mifepristone.
☆ Abortion pill manufacturer sues over West Virginia ban
  + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( Rose Horowitch | Rose Horowitch Is An Intern With Nbc News Digital Politics. | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
Abortion pill manufacturer GenBioPro filed a lawsuit Wednesday arguing that West Virginia's sweeping ban on the procedure is unconstitutional — one of a spate of suits testing the legality of medication abortion in the post-Roe legal landscape. GenBioPro manufactures mifepristone, the first pill in a two-drug regimen used to carry out medication abortion. Medication abortion has become a hot-button issue since the Supreme Court’s June decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which guaranteed a constitutional right to abortion. The drugmaker, which filed its case in West Virginia federal court, argues that the Food and Drug Administration's regulations on abortion medication override state law. “Abortion law and the status of the legality of abortion flickers on and off,” Rebouché said.
☆ Lawsuits filed over U.S. state restrictions on abortion pills
  + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( Jonathan Stempel Brendan Pierson | Jonathan Stempel | Brendan Pierson | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Companies Genbiopro Inc FollowJan 25 (Reuters) - A maker of abortion pills and a doctor have filed lawsuits challenging state restrictions on the medication, in the first lawsuits of their kind since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the federal constitutional right to abortion. The doctor, Amy Bryant, filed a separate lawsuit in the federal court in Durham, North Carolina, challenging state-imposed restrictions on obtaining mifepristone, which she said impeded her ability to treat patients. Medication abortions make up more than half of U.S. abortions. Misoprostol is the second drug of the two-drug regimen for medication abortion. Twelve states now ban nearly all abortions, including medication abortions.
☆ Abortion pill manufacturer GenBioPro sues West Virginia, argues FDA rules pre-empt state ban
  + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( Spencer Kimball | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
The abortion pill manufacturer GenBioPro on Wednesday sued to overturn West Virginia's ban on abortion because it restricts access to a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in West Virginia's southern district, argues that FDA regulations on medications such as the abortion pill pre-empt state law under the U.S. Constitution. Access to the pill, called mifepristone, has become a major legal battleground in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling that overturned federal abortion rights last June. A dozen states, including West Virginia, have implemented near total abortion bans that basically outlaw the use of mifepristone. But bans such as those in West Virginia conflict with FDA regulations on mifepristone, raising the question of whether federal or state laws take precedence.

Altogether, nearly 60% of these newcomers found jobs in industries that drive Quincy's economy, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and education. Many programs launched in cities like Quincy, which offer newcomers a lower cost of living compared to major metropolises. The couple were approved for the relocation program "very quickly," Seguette said. The Great River Economic Development Foundation, a nonprofit business organization that serves all of Illinois' Adams County— which includes Quincy — is also advertising the relocation program under its "Quincy's Calling" campaign.

The government could face its first shutdown in years if Congress doesn't pass a short-term funding bill this week. Sen. Joe Manchin's push for a bill to streamline fossil fuel projects is the major holdup.

Preventing a shutdown with short-term fundingTraffic is piling up around Manchin's bill, but the rest of the resolution faces less pushback. Some progressives and environmentalists have defended aspects of Manchin's bill.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is considering adding climate impact as a mandated disclosure. Some large investors require disclosure. The United Kingdom plans to require climate disclosure starting in April 2022, and the European Union has reporting rules in place. A study of one type of climate disclosure — emissions labels on consumer products — found mixed evidence as to whether consumers altered their behavior in response. A prior oil and gas extraction disclosure rule was invalidated by a court in 2013 as arbitrary and capricious.
