Bills Introduced – 06-20-18


Yesterday with both the House and Senate in session there were 36 bills introduced. Of these, two may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:

HR 6157 Making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2019, and for other purposes. Rep. Granger, Kay [R-TX-12]

S 3094 A bill to restrict the department in which the Coast Guard is operating from implementing any rule requiring the use of biometric readers for biometric transportation security cards until after submission to Congress of the results of an assessment of the effectiveness of the transportation security card program. Sen. Sullivan, Dan [R-AK]

I suspect that S 3094 is a companion bill to HR 5729. The OMB has approved the Coast Guard’s rule (but the CG has not yet published the rule) for a limited delay of the TWIC Reader Rule, but it does not appear that that delay is related to what these two bills are attempting to accomplish.
