Were there subsequent legal challenges or later laws that amended or reversed this change, and when did they occur?
Executive summary
Available sources do not identify the specific original “change” you mean; coverage instead lists many different federal and state law amendments, agency rule changes, and court reversals in 2024–2025. For example, the U.S. Sentencing Commission submitted final guideline amendments to Congress on April 30, 2025 (effective Nov. 1, 2025) [1], and multiple new state laws and regulatory amendments took effect Nov. 1, 2025 (e.g., NYDFS cybersecurity amendments and dozens of state statutes) [2] [3].
1. Why I can’t point to “the” subsequent challenge without more detail
Your question asks whether there were later legal challenges or laws that amended or reversed “this change,” but the available documents cover many unrelated changes — federal sentencing guideline amendments, state statutes in Texas, Oklahoma and elsewhere, federal bills such as the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” and agency rule rollouts — not a single identifiable prior action to which a follow-up could be tied [1] [4] [3] [5]. Because the sources do not mention the original change you refer to, I cannot definitively list subsequent challenges specific to it; available sources do not mention the original change you have in mind [1].
2. Examples of notable amendments and their timing (federal and agency)
The U.S. Sentencing Commission adopted a set of final amendments that it submitted to Congress on April 30, 2025, and designated them effective November 1, 2025 [1]. The Internal Revenue/One Big Beautiful Bill provisions include tax-code changes and temporary deductions effective 2025–2028, and some modifications (e.g., Clean Vehicle Credit sunset dates) taking effect or changing in 2025 [5] [6]. Agency regulatory amendments also had explicit effective dates in 2025 — for instance, New York DFS’s second amendment to its cybersecurity regulation (23 NYCRR Part 500) was adopted in November 2023 with final requirements taking effect November 1, 2025 [2].
3. Examples of state-level reversals, blocking litigation, and effective dates
Several state laws passed or slated for 2025 faced lawsuits or temporary blocks in the public record. California’s effort to prevent local voter ID requirements drew litigation and a federal judge temporarily blocked the law in November [7]. State legislatures also enacted numerous new laws effective Jan. 1, 2025 or Nov. 1, 2025 — Oklahoma alone implemented nearly 300 new laws on Nov. 1, 2025 [3] [8]. But these examples show litigation or staggered effective dates rather than a discrete amendment that “reversed” a named prior change [7] [3].
4. Litigation that reversed or stayed policies in 2025 — thematic patterns
Across 2025 reporting there are recurring themes: courts sometimes reversed agency or executive actions (e.g., court reversals of administrative actions in immigration, labor, or regulatory areas noted in legal commentary) and state or federal bills were passed to undo prior rules or policies [9] [10]. For instance, commentators flagged litigation that could force agencies to reverse prior administration policies or that allowed unions to sue over mass firings; those items illustrate how legal challenges produced reversals in 2025 [11] [10]. The sources make clear that reversals often occur either by new legislation amending statutory language or by judicial rulings enjoining or vacating prior agency action [10] [11].
5. How to get a precise answer — what I would need and where to look
To answer when a later law or challenge amended or reversed “this change,” I need the specific change’s title, jurisdiction (federal/state/agency), and approximate date. With that, the most relevant sources in this set would be (a) the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s amendment archive for guideline changes [1], (b) state legislative summaries for particular states (e.g., Texas, Oklahoma, New York) [4] [3], and (c) congressional or agency trackers for 2025 bills and rulemakings [6] [12]. Those resources list adoption dates, effective dates, and related litigation or implementation notes [1] [6] [12].
6. Bottom line and recommended next steps
Bottom line: available sources document many separate 2024–2025 amendments, effective dates, and some litigation-driven stays or reversals (e.g., sentencing guideline amendments effective Nov. 1, 2025; NYDFS Part 500 final requirements effective Nov. 1, 2025; state laws effective Jan. 1 or Nov. 1, 2025), but they do not identify the specific earlier “change” you referenced, so I cannot list its subsequent challenges or reversals without more detail [1] [2] [3]. If you supply the exact policy, statute, court decision, or regulation you're asking about, I will search these same trackers and legislative/agency pages and report the precise later legal challenges, amendments, or reversal dates with citations [1] [6] [12].
