Regulatory news, updates, and insights for USA presented by the Carver Agents team

Welcome to Carver's USA Regulatory Updates for June 14, 2026.

The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced the availability of Economic Injury Disaster Loans, or EIDL, for eligible small businesses, agricultural cooperatives, nurseries, and private nonprofits in designated counties across New Mexico affected by drought beginning April 14, 2026. These loans offer up to $2 million with interest rates as low as 4% for small businesses and 3.625% for nonprofits. Loan terms extend up to 30 years, with no payments due for 12 months following the first disbursement. Applications must be submitted by February 1, 2027.

In Montana, State Auditor James Brown has publicly endorsed Congressman Downing’s PARTNERS Act of 2026. This legislation would empower Montana and other states to enforce existing federal Medicare Advantage rules and coordinate enforcement and data collection efforts with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The U.S. Court of International Trade recently struck down tariffs imposed during the Trump administration as unauthorized by law. The administration is appealing this ruling. Meanwhile, Oregon Attorney General Rayfield is leading a coalition of 24 states in defending the court’s decision and appealing procedural rulings to maintain their legal standing.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General has entered into a new Corporate Integrity Agreement with Family Health Care Associates, LLC, based in Kentucky. Effective June 3, 2026, the five-year agreement requires the appointment of a Compliance Officer within 90 days, establishment of a Compliance Committee chaired by the Compliance Officer including leaders from key departments, and board oversight with at least one independent member holding quarterly meetings to review compliance program effectiveness.

The California Air Resources Board has adopted regulatory updates to its Cap-and-Invest Program. The new allowance budgets extend through 2045 with a tighter cap trajectory, including annual cap reductions of 11% through 2030 and 7% from 2031 to 2045. The program introduces a Manufacturing Decarbonization Incentive with specific guardrails and expands affordability measures for consumers and industry. Offset credit usage will trigger retirement of equivalent allowances from the following year’s budget.

On June 9, 2026, the U.S. Department of the Treasury released the Social Security and Medicare Trustees Reports. The 2026 reports reveal worsened long-term finances for both trust funds due to demographic changes and the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which affects revenue from income taxation of benefits.

The New York State Department of Financial Services has proposed new regulations building on its nation-leading stablecoin framework. The proposed rules add provisions for reserve limits per custodian and mandatory risk management programs addressing internal controls, information security, audits, asset growth, earnings, insider and affiliate transactions, and service provider arrangements. Stablecoins must be backed by U.S. dollars and issued under DFS oversight, with independent audits required. These updates align state policies with new federal GENIUS Act requirements.

Finally, 27 U.S. states have opted into the Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program. This new framework aims to protect taxpayers from fraud and includes the intent to issue proposed regulations on excise tax for executive compensation in tax-exempt organizations. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service has announced new tools and hiring events to improve taxpayer services. Eligible taxpayers can claim federal tax credits for contributions to Scholarship Granting Organizations.
