Yesterday with both the House and Senate in session there
were 106 bills introduced. Two of these may see future coverage in this blog:
HR 1975
To establish in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the
Department of Homeland Security a Chief Information Security Officer Advisory
Committee. Rep. Katko, John [R-NY-24]
S 954 A
bill to provide grants to State, local, territorial, and Tribal law enforcement
agencies to purchase chemical screening devices and train personnel to use
chemical screening devices in order to enhance law enforcement efficiency and
protect law enforcement officers. Sen.
Brown, Sherrod [D-OH]
CISO’s typically have responsibility for operational
technology in addition to information technology. It will be interesting to see
if the definitions used in HR 1975 reflect that dichotomy.
I suspect that this bill will contain language specifying fentanyl
detection. While detection of that dangerous (toxic) drug is certainly
important to law enforcement officers, I will be watching for language that
includes a broader array of toxic chemical detections in the grant program.
