Yesterday with both the House and Senate in Washington,
there were 52 bills introduced. Three of those bills may see future coverage in
this blog:
HR 7188
To extend by two years the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Program
of the Department of Homeland Security, and for other purposes. Rep.
Ratcliffe, John [R-TX-4]
HR 7192
To enhance the early warning reporting requirements for motor vehicle
manufacturers, and for other purposes. Rep.
Cartwright, Matt [D-PA-17]
S
3677 A bill to provide for certain programs and developments in the
Department of Energy concerning the cybersecurity and vulnerabilities of, and
physical threats to, the electric grid, and for other purposes. Sen.
Gardner, Cory [R-CO]
With the Chair and Ranking Member of both the House Homeland
Security and House Energy and Commerce Committees as cosponsors, HR 7188 will move
to the floor of the House early next week. It will be interesting to see what “and
for other purposes” are included in this bill. Needless to say this means that
HR 6992 and S 3405 are effectively dead.
I would normally be watching HR 7192 specific cybersecurity
reporting requirements, but this bill has little to no chance of being considered
in the 115th Congress. We may see this again next year.
S 3677 could be interesting, but it will not see any action
this year. Again, this will probably be reintroduced next year.
