Here are a couple things I pulled out of the wiki:
The Maintaining America's Technological Security Act of 2008, the hardest American crackdown on handwavium enacted before 2012, passed because of Ptichka's launch.
The 2012 Land Theft Prevention Act passed in the wake of the Grover's Corners launch. The Corners launched April 20, 2012, so this probably became law before Fall of that year.
