Yesterday there were 47 bills introduced in the House and
Senate. Four of those bills may be of specific interest to readers of this
blog:
HR 2636
To require a study on the public health and environmental impacts of the
production, transportation, storage, and use of petroleum coke, and for other
purposes. Rep. Kelly, Robin L. [D-IL-2]
S 1487
A bill to require notice and comment for certain interpretative rules. Sen.
Daines, Steve [R-MT]
S 1499
A bill to amend title 23, United States Code, to provide eligibility under
certain highway programs for projects for the installation of
vehicle-to-infrastructure communication equipment, and for... Sen.
Peters, Gary C. [D-MI]
I don’t normally cover bills dealing with administrative
matters, but since there has been a bit
of a controversy over the NPMR for the Wassenaar
cybersecurity rule that was not required to undergo a ‘notice and comment’
process I thought that it might be appropriate to watch HR 2631 and S 1487 to
see if they would have an impact on future rules like this.
HR 2636 addresses an issue that is apparently important in
Michigan. Bills on this topic were introduced last session {S
1388, introduced by Sen. Levin, Retired – and – HR
2298, introduced by Rep. Peters, now Senator, (D,MI)}. Those bills did not
go anywhere last session and HR 2636 probably will not advance in this session
either. We are likely to see a companion bill from Peters.
I will be watching S 1499 for potential (or more probably
lack of) cybersecurity provisions.
