Answer: (Here are some of the biggest new laws that went into effect Jan. 1)

(1.) Criminal justice reform

Following George Floyd's death at the hands of police officers, elected officials across the country pushed ahead with bills designed to curb racial profiling, reduce violent conflicts between officers and civilians, and improve transparency among police precincts.

(2.) Employment

Twenty states, including Florida, California, Ohio and Arizona, raised their minimum wage on Jan. 1. By August, four more states will join the list.

The move comes as millions of Americans are struggling financially as the coronavirus pandemic enters its second year.
