Two Cybersecurity Bills Reported in House

Yesterday there were two cybersecurity bills reported in the House by the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. Those bills were HR 756, Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2013, and HR 967, the Advancing America's Networking and Information Technology Research and Development Act of 2013. The submission of these two reports clears the bills for action on the floor of the House as early as next week.

The actual reports are not yet available from the Government Printing Office. I did report on the markups of each of these bills (HR 756. HR 967) so the amended language should offer no real surprises, but there is frequently supporting information in the report that provides additional insight into how the resulting regulations should be written.
