От 2 август 2026 г. Член 50 от Законодателния акт на ЕС за ИИ задължава чатботовете да разкриват, че са ИИ, а дълбоките фалшификати да носят етикети — включително за продавачи от САЩ с клиенти в ЕС.
От 11 март 2026 г. сертификацията B Corp вече не се основава на единна оценка от 80 точки — кандидатите трябва да покрият основните изисквания плюс независимо проверени прагове във всички седем теми за въздействие, без компенсиране между тях. Обхваща какво се промени, скалираните такси (от 1 000 до над 25 000 $ годишно, приблизително 2 000–2 100 $ за компания с 1–5 млн. $ приходи), 40–80 часа събиране на доказателства, които малкият бизнес трябва да предвиди, и как да структурирате сметкоплана си така, че верификацията да е въпрос на следобед, а не на съдебно счетоводство.

The 7(a) Program Risk Oversight Act would require the SBA to publish loan performance data by loan size, seasoning, borrower age, and lender type — and post it publicly within seven days of reporting to Congress.

Connecticut's July 1, 2026 laws require all-in advertised pricing, give independent repair shops manufacturer-level access to parts and documentation, and drop the CTDPA's coverage threshold to 35,000 residents with no-threshold triggers for sensitive data and data sales.

FinCEN's March 2025 interim final rule narrowed the Corporate Transparency Act so U.S.-formed entities no longer file BOI reports, but foreign-formed entities registered in U.S. states still must file within 30 days, and New York's LLC Transparency Act took effect January 1, 2026 for foreign LLCs authorized to do business there.
