The United States Department of Justice, along with several states, filed a lawsuit against RealPage, Inc. and several landlord companies, claiming they violated antitrust laws. The lawsuit alleges that these companies used RealPage's software to share sensitive rental information to influence and align rental prices, reducing competition and leading to higher rents for tenants. As part of a proposed settlement, Cortland Management, one of the defendants, agreed to stop using RealPage's software and instead use its own revenue management system without sharing sensitive data. The settlement aims to prevent Cortland from engaging in similar anticompetitive behavior in the future.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has proposed a consent agreement with Flo Health, Inc., a company accused of sharing users' menstrual and fertility data without their consent, violating laws against deceptive business practices. Flo Health had promised users their information would remain private but allegedly shared it with third parties like Facebook and Google. The proposed order, open for public comment, requires Flo Health to improve its privacy practices, notify users of the data sharing, and obtain users' express consent before sharing personal health information again. Additionally, there's a debate among FTC commissioners about whether further enforcement actions, such as applying the Health Breach Notification Rule, should be taken against Flo Health.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) temporarily placed a substance called brorphine in Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act due to its high potential for abuse, lack of accepted medical use, and potential danger to public safety. This action means strict regulatory controls are now in place regarding the manufacturing, distribution, and possession of brorphine. The DEA found brorphine on the illicit market in several countries and associated it with several fatalities in the U.S. Brorphine is a synthetic opioid with effects similar to fentanyl, which poses significant health risks and has been linked to the ongoing opioid epidemic. This temporary scheduling will last for two years and can be extended for an additional year.

This amendment specifically allows for the collection of civil money penalties (CMPs) by including them in the scope of existing debt-collection regulations. The rule aligns with the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 and aims to enhance FDIC's ability to recover debts by using existing Treasury procedures. Although the rule does not impose new requirements on insured institutions, it potentially increases the success rate of collecting delinquent CMPs.

The Department of State has updated the Exchange Visitors Skills List, which identifies countries that need people with certain specialized skills. This list is used to see if someone in the U.S. on a "J" nonimmigrant exchange visa must spend two years in their home country before applying for other U.S. visas. This updated list replaces the previous version from 2009 and incorporates factors like a country’s GDP and migration rates to decide which skills are necessary. This list helps with U.S. foreign policy and doesn't require the usual public comment process due to its relation to foreign affairs.
