AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Data Privacy & Breach Watch: Edelson Lechtzin LLP says it’s investigating Nebraska Orthopaedic Center after a breach tied to vendor Aesto Health, with notifications dated Aug. 18 and possible exposure of sensitive personal and health data. More Breach Claims: The same firm is also probing Alphanumeric Systems after dark-web reports alleged a Settra-linked incident and possible data exfiltration. Power Costs for SMBs: TVA approved a new data-center electricity rate structure starting Oct. 1, 2026, projecting about a 10% billing increase for centers—aimed at keeping costs from being pushed onto other customers. Local Business Pressure: Summerland, B.C. restaurants can’t reopen normally due to an ongoing water boil advisory after wildfire damage, forcing waste and extra costs. Regulation That Hits Revenue: Pennsylvania skill games may be forced offline in October after a state Supreme Court ruling; businesses and nonprofits are pushing lawmakers to regulate them by Oct. 13. Small-Business Growth & Support: Wells Fargo awarded $1.3M in grants to boost small business growth across four states, while Michigan’s agriculture department handed out grants to small businesses and projects statewide. Policy for SMBs: The SBA proposed broad changes to small-business size standards, which could expand eligibility for federal programs. EU Compliance Costs: The EU’s new packaging rules are now binding, but small cross-border sellers face patchwork fees and traceability paperwork.
