Core Tension
One signing day, four unrelated statutes: a local Paducah land-restriction fix (with transfer conditions the WH blurb omits), OTA spending transparency that phases in over years rather than “ending secret spending” overnight, an EMS memorial authorization clock reset, and disaster/wildfire tax relief extended and written into the Code — while Public Law numbers are still pending two days after the signature.
