杰基·奎因在华盛顿为您报道。

President Joe Biden signed three separate laws Wednesday that dismantled part of the Trump era on payday loan interest rates, methane emissions controls and how the equal employment opportunity commission settles claims.

周三，拜登总统签署了三项独立的法律，包括发薪日贷款利率、甲烷排放控制以及平等就业机会委员会如何处理索赔。这几项法案废除了特朗普时代的部分政策。

"Each of these bills, each of these bills reflects return to common sense and commitment to the common good."

“每一个法案，每一个，都反映了对常识的回归和对共同利益的承诺。”

Under former President Trump, payday lenders could charge interest rates in excess of what states allowed and avoid state usury laws by working with a commercial bank.

在前总统特朗普领导的时期，发薪日贷款人可以通过与商业银行合作，收取超过州允许的利率，同时规避州高利贷法律。

The Trump administration also loosened rules on methane emissions from leaks and flares in oil and gas wells.

特朗普政府还曾放松了对油井、气井泄漏和燃烧产生的甲烷排放的规定。

The Biden administration said in a statement that the EEOC claims process had increased the risk of retaliation by making it easier for employers to demand the identities of those with information about unlawful discrimination.

拜登政府在一份声明中表示，平等就业机会委员会的申诉程序使雇主更容易获取那些曾起诉非法歧视的人的身份信息，从而增加了报复的风险。
