Last update: 12 hours ago

Genetic Data Accountability: South Carolina is among states in a multistate $18 million settlement tied to 23andMe’s 2023 genetic data breach, with the company also agreeing to a $46.75 million consumer class-action payout. Public Health Lab Upgrade: South Carolina opened a new Public Health and Environmental Laboratory—140,000 square feet—to expand newborn screening, infectious disease testing, drinking water analysis, and radiological testing. Local Tech Oversight: Two Greer police officers were terminated after an internal review found misuse of Automatic License Plate Recognition/Flock cameras, with the city using an AI audit tool to confirm policy violations. Foodborne Illness Watch: Health officials reported 16 Cyclospora cases in South Carolina this year, saying they’re not linked to a larger national outbreak; guidance focuses on lettuce and salad greens. Heat Safety: Meteorologists warn another stretch of dangerous heat, including record overnight temperatures, is expected to hit the region. Energy & Innovation: SCRA became a founding partner in the NSF Grid Modernization Engine in the Carolinas, aiming to accelerate grid tech testing and deployment.
