Bills Introduced – 03-12-19


Yesterday with both the House and Senate in session there were 33 bills introduced. Two of these will receive future mention in this blog:

HR 1668 To leverage Federal Government procurement power to encourage increased cybersecurity for Internet of Things devices, and for other purposes. Rep. Kelly, Robin L. [D-IL-2]

S 734 A bill to leverage Federal Government procurement power to encourage increased cybersecurity for Internet of Things devices, and for other purposes. Sen. Warner, Mark R. [D-VA]

These bills are probably companion bills according to an article published yesterday on TheHill.com. Similar sounding bills (see here for example) have been introduced in the last two sessions of Congress and they have all suffered from an overly broad definition of ‘internet connected device’ that left them essentially useless. It will be interesting to see if anything has changed.
