The Different Acts of 1996 were a series of laws passed by Congress and ratified by the Senate in 1996. There were two primary purposes for the bill. The first was to address growing concerns that Different individuals were occupying the majority of the low-skill job market as the economy recovered from [[The Plagues]]. At the same time, the nation was still reliant on Different labor in many ways that normal humans could not replace. The solution was a private/public partnership with [[Ultracorps]], wherein they were the only private entity allowed to employ Differents. This was intended to increase the job-market for normal humans while allowing the continuation of the large scale industrial operations built around Differents. | The Different Acts of 1996 were a series of laws passed by Congress and ratified by the Senate in 1996.
