Bills Introduced – 07-27-17

Yesterday with both the House and Senate in session (and the House preparing to leave for their summer recess) there were 125 bills introduced. Of those, three may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:

S 1655 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, 2018, and for other purposes. Sen. Collins, Susan M. [R-ME] 

S 1656 A bill to amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to provide cybersecurity protections for medical devices. Sen. Blumenthal, Richard [D-CT]

S 1662 An original bill making appropriations for the Departments of Commerce and Justice, Science, and Related Agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018, and for other purposes. Sen. Shelby, Richard C. [R-AL]

As usual I will be watching the spending bills for cybersecurity measures, but the THUD bill will also be watched for chemical transportation measures.


An FDA cybersecurity bill will certainly receive follow-up coverage here.
