What were the most significant legislative changes in the US in 2021?

In 2021, the United States saw several significant legislative changes across a range of issues. Here are some of the most notable:

• American Rescue Plan: The American Rescue Plan, signed into law by President Joe Biden in March 2021, provided $1.9 trillion in COVID-19 relief funds, including direct payments to individuals, extended unemployment benefits, and funding for vaccine distribution.
• Infrastructure Bill: The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, passed by Congress in November 2021 and signed by President Biden in December 2021, authorized $1.2 trillion in spending on infrastructure, including roads, bridges, public transit, and broadband internet.
• Police Reform: In April 2021, President Biden signed into law the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which bans chokeholds and no-knock warrants, and makes it easier to prosecute police officers for misconduct. The bill also provides funding for police training and requires the use of body cameras by federal law enforcement officers.
• Climate Change: In March 2021, the Biden administration announced a series of executive orders aimed at addressing climate change, including rejoining the Paris climate agreement and halting new oil and gas leases on federal lands.
• Voting Rights: In March 2021, the House of Representatives passed the For the People Act, a sweeping voting rights and campaign finance reform bill that would expand access to voting and reduce the influence of money in politics. The bill has yet to pass the Senate.
