Recent Law Changes
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 Requirements for ATR72 Aircraft
This new law requires operators of certain ATR-GIE Avions de Transport Régional Model ATR72 airplanes to update their maintenance or inspection programs. The FAA determined that existing airworthiness limitations were insufficient, necessitating this change. Affected parties must incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations into their current procedures by the effective date of June 3, 2026.
Updates to Missouri's Construction Permit Requirements for Air Pollution Sources
This law updates Missouri’s rules on construction permits required for stationary and portable air pollution sources. Before this change, the fees for these permits were different, and there was a subsection in state regulations that had never been approved by the EPA. Now, the permit fees have been updated, an unapproved subsection has been removed, and some administrative wording changes have been made. These updates ensure Missouri continues to meet national air quality standards without affecting its ability to maintain these standards. The changes take effect on May 26, 2026.
Updated Insurance Requirements for Multi-Family Housing Programs
This law updates insurance requirements under the USDA's Rural Development Multi-Family Housing Direct Loan and Grant programs. Before this change, insurance coverage types, amounts, and deductibles were not aligned with industry standards. Now, these will be adjusted to match affordable housing norms, simplifying coverage and deductible limits for better customer experience. The changes affect those involved in MFH programs, including property owners and tenants. This new rule takes effect on May 20, 2026.
