Hear how President Biden s early initiatives can impact the green industry from NALP s Andrew Bray.
On January 20, President Joe Biden became the 46th President in American history. It was a different inauguration punctuated by the extra security and lack of crowds due to COVID-19, but a remarkable transition of power occurred, and we now look toward the Biden Presidency.
President Biden wasted no time issuing some significant executive orders while also laying out some key policy priorities. Biden’s first executive orders were primarily directed at rolling back some of President Trump’s policies like rejoining the Paris Climate Accord, ending what’s been referred to politically as the “Muslim” travel ban and ending construction of the southern border wall. Other executive orders focused on COVID, the economy and racial equity.
