Bills Introduced – 6-7-18


Yesterday with both the House and Senate in session there were 47 bills introduced. Of those, two may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:

HR 6032 To direct the Secretary of Commerce to conduct a study and submit to Congress a report on the state of the internet-connected devices industry in the United States. Rep. Latta, Robert E. [R-OH-5]

S 3023 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, 2019, and for other purposes. Sen. Collins, Susan M. [R-ME]

I will be watching for the outside possibility that HR 6032 will consider specific requirements for either control system devices or cybersecurity in the reporting criteria.

S 3023 would be the Senate version of the THUD appropriations bill. I typically watch that for chemical transportation issues.
