Recent Law Changes
Updated Safety Standards for Toddler Beds
This law updates the safety standards for toddler beds by incorporating a new voluntary standard issued by ASTM International. Before this change, the CPSC required compliance with an older version of the ASTM standard from 2019. Now, manufacturers must meet the updated ASTM F1821-26 standard to ensure safer designs and materials in toddler beds. This affects parents and caregivers who purchase toddler beds for children aged one to three years old. The new standards take effect on August 29, 2026.
Changes to Airspace Designations at Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport
This law modifies airspace designations around Jacqueline Cochran Regional Airport in Palm Springs, CA. Before this change, there were different classifications of Class E airspace areas extending from the surface and up to higher altitudes. Now, a new Class E4 airspace area is established as an extension to a surface area, while a Class E2 airspace area is modified. Additionally, certain Class E5 airspace areas are revoked. These changes affect pilots and aviation authorities who must adhere to updated flight regulations effective July 9, 2026.
Amendment of Class D Airspace at Appleton, WI
This amendment changes the Class D airspace around Appleton, Wisconsin. Previously, the airspace did not fully align with current instrument flight procedures. Now, it has been updated to comply with FAA orders and support IFR operations more effectively. This change affects pilots flying under IFR in this area and air traffic controllers managing flights at Appleton. The new rules take effect on July 9, 2026.
Changes to Federal Student Loan Programs
Under this new law, federal student loan programs have been updated. New loan limits are established for graduate students, professional students, and parents, and the Graduate PLUS (Grad PLUS) Program is phased out. The Income-Contingent Repayment plans are also being phased out to simplify repayment options. A new Tiered Standard repayment plan option and a new income-driven repayment plan known as the Repayment Assistance Plan have been created. Borrowers in default who have previously rehabilitated a defaulted loan will now have a second chance to do so again. These changes take effect on July 1, 2026.
Changes to Oil and Gas Leasing Regulations
This law changes regulations related to oil and gas leasing by updating rules on royalties, fees, rentals, and other terms as required by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act enacted in July 2025. The changes affect companies involved in oil and gas leasing on federal lands. Under this new law, these businesses must comply with updated requirements starting June 29, 2026.
New Airworthiness Directive for Airbus A350 Models
This new law requires changes to certain parts of Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. Previously, the clamp holding the oxygen generator was becoming obsolete and not properly documented by Airbus. Now, this directive mandates replacing these clamps with a newer version from another manufacturer that has different locking torque specifications. It also prohibits using certain maintenance procedures and installing affected parts. This affects airplane owners and operators of the specified models. The new requirements take effect on June 18, 2026.
