Yesterday with both the House and Senate preparing to leave
for the weekend there were 117 bills introduced. Three of those bills may
receive additional coverage in this blog:
HR 1589
To amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to establish chemical, biological,
radiological, and nuclear intelligence and information sharing functions of the
Office of Intelligence and Analysis of the Department of Homeland Security and
to require dissemination of information analyzed by the Department to entities
with responsibilities relating to homeland security, and for other purposes. Rep.
Walker, Mark [R-NC-6]
HR
1592 To direct the Secretary of Education to establish a pilot program to
award competitive grants for the integration of cybersecurity education, and
for other purposes. Rep.
Langevin, James R. [D-RI-2]
S
715 A bill to improve the productivity and energy efficiency of the
manufacturing sector by directing the Secretary of Energy, in coordination with
the National Academies and other appropriate Federal agencies, to develop a
national smart manufacturing plan and to provide assistance to small- and
medium-sized manufacturers in implementing smart manufacturing programs, and
for other purposes. Sen.
Shaheen, Jeanne [D-NH]
Most past legislative references to CBRN intelligence have
focused on ‘biological’ issues as I suspect that HR 1589 will. Still I will
cover this bill because the bill will mandate ‘chemical’ intelligence sharing
even if that is not the focus.
HR 1592 will be followed here if it contains specific
mention of industrial control system cybersecurity education.
Shaheen’s previous ‘smart manufacturing’ bills have not
addressed cybersecurity concerns. We will have to see if this changes with this
bill.
