In local news, the California State Senate
has passed significant legislation aimed
at curbing health care acquisitions
by private equity firms and hedge funds.
The law known as Assembly Bill 3129
received a vote of 49 to 14, just hours
before the end of the legislative session on August 31.
This measure requires state attorney general approval
for any acquisition of a health care company generating
$25 million or more in revenue.
Proponents argue it ensures quality care
at affordable prices, while opponents, including
the American Investment Council, warn
it could deter investment and innovation
in California's health care sector.
Governor Gavin Newsom has until the end of September
to act on the bill.
Now on to sports.

Running back Colin Collier, who rushed for 89 yards
on 12 carries in the preseason, will
be Kita Baltimore's offense.
However, they'll be without linebacker Alden Isaac
and cornerback Trayvon Mullen.

In top news, the Environmental Protection Agency
has reinstated the, once in, always in policy,
aimed at reducing emissions of toxic pollutants like arsenic
and benzene from industrial facilities nationwide.
This rule, originally established in 1995,
mandates that facilities classified as major sources
of pollution maintain strict controls, even if reclassified.
While the latest changes do not fully restore
the previous policy, they require most facilities
to comply with stringent standards.
Environmental advocates welcome this move,
emphasizing the need for cleaner air,
especially in vulnerable communities.
Meanwhile, industry groups express concern
over regulatory burdens.

has announced plans to separate

Topgolf will retain its operations,
except for the top tracer technology,
which will remain with Callaway, the golf equipment business.
Chip Brewer, the president and CEO,
expressed confidence in Topgolf's potential
for significant future value.
The separation is targeted for completion
in the second half of 2025,
subject to necessary approvals with ongoing partnerships
between the two companies.
