AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoPuerto Rico Health & Wellness: Puerto Rico’s grid still struggles with frequent blackouts, and a new push for cleaner backup power is emerging: researchers are deploying a clean hydrogen-enabled microgrid in Vieques that uses solar-plus-battery power to produce hydrogen for fuel cells during outages, aiming to reduce reliance on polluting generators. Policy & Health Costs: The U.S. House advanced the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent nationwide, but Puerto Rico is already exempt—so the bigger health angle for island residents is how national schedule changes could still affect travel, care routines, and cross-territory coordination. Drug Prices & Access: A multistate coalition announced a $29.6 million Glenmark settlement over alleged generic drug price-fixing; consumers who bought certain generics from May 2009–Dec 2019 may be eligible for compensation, with the case continuing against other companies. Workplace Transparency: A proposed bill would require employers to publish salary or salary ranges in job postings—an issue local job seekers say affects stress and access to stable healthcare coverage. Community & Care Infrastructure: Puerto Rico’s Distrito Sports Hub is set to receive $20 million to build a sports-and-wellness destination in the Convention District, projecting jobs and adding a new space for physical activity and social connection.
