Eight noteworthy measures packed into massive COVID-19 relief and omnibus bill

The massive $2.5 trillion coronavirus relief and omnibus bill package includes a wide swath of measures beyond normal government spending and matters relating to the pandemic, including authorizations for new museums, creation of a national park, tax tweaks, vaping regulation, and foreign policy changes.

House lawmakers are set to vote Monday on the 5,593-page bill just hours after the bill’s text became public.

In what has become a typical practice for Congress close to the end of a session, the legislation is a massive compilation of various policy measures packaged together into one bill.
