    💰

    Citation:86 FR 7225
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    In Proclamation 10142, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. terminated the national emergency regarding the southern border of the United States that was declared in 2019. The proclamation directs the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security to pause construction on the border wall and halt the use of funds for it. They must also review the legality and consequences of the wall projects and develop a plan within 60 days to redirect funds and possibly terminate contracts for wall construction. The proclamation clarifies that the term "wall" refers to a contiguous physical barrier along the border.

    Simple Explanation

    President Biden decided not to keep building the big wall on the southern border anymore, and he wants to use the money planned for the wall on other things instead. The people in charge need to stop building for now and figure out what to do next in the next two months.

    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) announced it will delay enforcement of a rule that increases compensation limits for passengers denied boarding and mishandled baggage by airlines. Originally effective January 22, 2025, enforcement is postponed until March 20, 2025. This delay allows time for officials appointed by the President to ensure the rule aligns with legal and policy guidelines. The rule involves changes to increase denied boarding compensation to $1,075 and $2,150, and mishandled baggage compensation to $4,700.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Transportation is taking some extra time, until March 20, 2025, to make sure the new rules for how much airlines have to pay you if they lose your bags or bump you from your flight are fair and make sense. They're doing this because they want to double-check everything is right before enforcing the new money amounts.

    Reading Time:about 9 minutes

    The U.S. International Trade Commission reviewed an investigation regarding the importation and sale of certain photovoltaic connectors, which allegedly infringed on specific patent claims. Initially, there was a finding of a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act concerning the '153 patent. However, upon review, the Commission reversed this finding, determining that there was no violation due to the accused products not satisfying the necessary patent claims. The investigation has been concluded with no violation found.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. International Trade Commission looked into special plugs for solar panels and at first thought they broke some rules, but then changed their mind and found they didn't. Now, everything is okay with those plugs.
