Bills Introduced – 06-05-14

The House met yesterday in pro forma session (so most members were still back home) and the Senate was in full session. Between the two there were 25 bills introduced; three of which may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:

S2437 Latest Title: An original bill making appropriations for Departments of Commerce and Justice, and Science, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015, and for other purposes. Sponsor: Sen Mikulski, Barbara A. (D,MD)

S 2438 Latest Title: An original bill making appropriations for the Departments of Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015, and for other purposes. Sponsor: Sen Murray, Patty (D,WA)

S 2444 Latest Title: A bill to authorize appropriations for the Coast Guard for fiscal years 2015 through 2016, and for other purposes. Sponsor: Sen Begich, Mark (D,AK)


The CJS spending bill might contain cybersecurity provisions. The THUD spending bill will address chemical transportation issues. The CG Authorization bill might contain chemical security provisions. We will just have to wait and see when they are printed. As always with these types of bills, the Committee Reports will be almost as important as the actual bills.
