Attorney General Nick Brown and a bipartisan coalition of attorneys general have sent a letter to congressional leadership opposing the so-called Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act (KIDS Act), H.R. 7757, which in reality would weaken states’ ability to protect children online while insulating Big Tech from accountability.

The coalition warned against the KIDS Act’s broad preemption of state laws addressing online harms to minors, including social media harms, obscenity, social gaming platforms, and artificial intelligence chatbots.

The Attorney General’s Office has agreed to a consent decree with home cleaning platform Homeaglow and its two founders, requiring them to cease deceptive practices uncovered by investigators. 

Homeaglow, which also does business as Dazzling Cleaning, had been enticing consumers with a $19 cleaning fee, but in actuality that deal roped Washington consumers into hundreds of dollars in costs due to their predatory membership program featuring an exorbitant cancellation fee.

On Wednesday, the Attorney General’s Office posted a hub for information about the rights of Washingtonians. The webpage brings together Know Your Rights guides in one place so Washingtonians can easily find the answers to questions about their rights.

“Washington law has some of the strongest protections in the country when it comes to civil rights, workers’ rights, reproductive rights, and other fundamental rights,” said Attorney General Nick Brown. “As the federal government tries to trample our rights, people should know that our state protections haven’t changed.”

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) has proposed revisions to draft model rules designed to help state and local governments fully comply with the Public Records Act.

The changes reflect feedback from public comments about the AG’s initial proposal.

Washington and a multistate coalition have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education over a new rule that unlawfully limits access to federal student loans for students pursuing professional degree programs, including many in healthcare and other critical workforce fields.
