Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said on June 12 that she is investigating pharmacy chain CVS and has sent the company a cease-and-desist notice after it allegedly used customers’ personal information to send text messages opposing a bill.

Murrill said in a statement posted to social media platform X that the messages had been sent by CVS to “large numbers of state employees and their families,” adding that this was “not an appropriate use of personal information obtained through a state contract.”
