Bills Introduced – 05-21-18


With both the House and Senate back in town yesterday, there were 25 bills introduced. Of those, two may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:

HR 5895 Making appropriations for energy and water development and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes. Rep. Simpson, Michael K. [R-ID-2]

S 2887 A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to provide for the establishment and operation of reserve component cyber civil support teams, and for other purposes. Sen. Cantwell, Maria [D-WA]

As is usual with these spending bills, I will be watching for items of potential interest to readers of this blog. With HR 5895 I will be specifically looking for cybersecurity and chemical safety provisions.

There has been a great deal of talk about these type units over the last couple of years. It will be interesting to see how Cantwell addresses the issue in S 2887. As always, I will be watching for definitions and provisions that specifically address control system security issues.
