New Laws in 2026 — Federal + All 50 States (High-Impact Summary)
This is a video-ready one-page cheat sheet: major laws and trends that took effect in 2026, plus a fast way to pull the complete official list for each state (because every state can have hundreds of new statutes).
Important: “All new laws in all 50 states” can mean thousands of statutes. News roundups typically cover the biggest items only.
Use the “Find the full official list” buttons below to get the complete state-by-state law list from official state sources.
Federal (U.S.) — What to Watch in 2026
- Most changes you “feel” day-to-day come from state laws (wages, housing, consumer rules, driving, education, privacy).
- Federal changes in 2026 are often from agency rules + budget/tax adjustments rather than one single “new federal law day.”
Multi-state “new laws” coverage and examples across 50 states are summarized in national roundups such as Scripps News and PBS Newshour. (See sources inside the page footer.)
Top 2026 Multi-State Themes (What shows up again and again)
💵 Pay & Worker Rules
- Many states raise minimum wage on Jan 1, 2026 (19+ states reported in national coverage).
- More rules around workplace safety, disclosures, and hiring tools.
🤖 AI & Tech
- States expand rules on AI transparency, especially in hiring and consumer decision systems.
🏠 Housing & Renters
- New landlord/tenant disclosures, renter protections, and compliance updates appear in multiple states.
🚗 Driving & Public Safety
- Phone use, DUI, traffic enforcement, street racing penalties, and other safety rules are common themes.
For videos: Laws can have different effective dates (Jan 1, July 1, Sept 1, Oct 1, etc.).
Always mention the date on screen when possible.
