WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Joe Biden signed 50 bills into law on Tuesday including making the vulture the official state bird and barring members of Congress from collecting their pensions if convicted.
Biden also established the first anti-hazing standard to address violence and death on higher education campuses across the country. He also signed a bill supported by reality TV star and heiress Paris Hilton, who owns treatment centers and care centers that serve young people who respond.
Earlier this month, Biden vetoed legislation to add 66 new judges to understaffed federal courts nationwide, commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 inmates on death row, commuted them to life in prison without parole and issued a full and unconditional pardon to his son. The hunter.
The rush of jobs comes as Biden pushes his final priorities before handing over power to President-elect Donald Trump on January 20.
He is also wrapping up his time in office by getting money previously approved by Congress out of infrastructure projects at home and in the arms of Ukraine.
