Biden signs 50 bills, addressing abuse, abuse and corruption

On Christmas Eve, President Joe Biden signed 50 bills into law, addressing issues from child abuse prevention to government efficiency. Highlights include measures to reduce institutional child abuse, boosted by Paris Hilton’s endorsement, and the official recognition of the bald eagle as America’s national bird.

Other notable laws include Native American Child Protection Actcreating a resource center to combat abuse in indigenous communities and Stop Campus Hazing Actrequiring colleges to transparently report hazing incidents. In addition, the Without the CORRUPTION Act ensures that convicted MPs lose their taxpayer-funded pensions immediately after conviction, closing a long-standing loophole.

These laws mark important steps in addressing systemic issues and strengthening accountability between institutions.
