HR 8880 Introduced - Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Report

Last month, Rep Simon (D,CA) introduced HR 8880, the Small Business Cybersecurity Assistance Evaluation Act of 2026. The bill would require the GAO to conduct a study of current Federal cybersecurity initiatives, programs, resources, tools, and services intended to assist owners of small business concerns. No new funding is authorized by this legislation. 

I can find no legislation in the 118th Congress that would appear to be similar to HR 8880. 

Moving Forward  

On May 20th, 2026, the House Small Business Committee held a business meeting where nine bills were considered, including HR 8880. By a vote of 23 to 0, the Committee adopted the bill as introduced. On June 3rd, 2026, the Committee Report on the bill was published. HR 8880 is currently scheduled to be considered by the House today under the suspension of the rules process. Strong, bipartisan support for the bill is expected.

Short Takes – 6-22-26 - Federal Register Edition

EPCRA Hazardous Chemical Inventory Reporting Requirements: Conformity With the 2024 OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. Federal Register EPA final rule. Summary: “The Environmental Protection Agency is conforming the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act hazardous chemical inventory reporting regulations to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's Hazard Communication Standard amendments of 2012 and 2024. The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and its regulations rely on the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) Hazard Communication Standard for the definition of a hazardous chemical and for the categories of health and physical hazards that must be reported under the hazardous chemical inventory regulations. This action conforms the terminology used and information that must be reported on the hazardous chemical inventory forms to the Hazard Communication Standard amendments. As a result, this action improves first responder and community safety, reduces discrepancies and confusion, prevents interpretation burdens on facilities when using (Material) Safety Data Sheets to complete annual hazardous chemical inventory reports, and enhances clarity.
