113th Congress – Bills Introduced 1-3-13

As I mentioned yesterday I am going to try to do something a little different for the start of the 113^th Congress, I will be reporting the bills that look like they might be of interest to the readers of this blog as they are introduced but before I actually have a chance to see the official versions of the bill.

So on the first day of the first session of the 113^th Congress Members of the House introduced 131 bills; three of which might be of interest here. Those bills are:

HR 68 - CFATS

HR 84 – TSA Ombusdman

HR 86 – Cybersecurity Education

The CFATS bill was introduced by Rep. Jackson-Lee (D,TX) who introduced a similar bill in the 112^th Congress (HR 225) and in the 111^th Congress (HR 261). In neither case was the bill considered in Committee. It is unlikely that this version will make it any further in the legislative process.
