Bills Introduced – 10-22-19

Yesterday with both the House and Senate in session there were 45 bills introduced. Three of those bills may see further coverage in this blog:

HR 4792 To establish a voluntary program to identify and promote internet-connected products that meet industry-leading cybersecurity and data security standards, guidelines, best practices, methodologies, procedures, and processes, and for other purposes. Rep. Lieu, Ted [D-CA-33] 

S 2656 A bill to disclose access to election infrastructure by foreign nationals. Sen. Kennedy, John [R-LA] 

S 2664 A bill to establish a voluntary program to identify and promote internet-connected products that meet industry-leading cybersecurity and data security standards, guidelines, best practices, methodologies, procedures, and processes, and for other purposes. Sen. Markey, Edward J. [D-MA] 

It looks like HR 4792 and S 2664 may be companion bills. See this article here about these bills. As always definitions and other details will be important.

It will be interesting to see how S 2656 deals with the complex attribution issue. I expect a simplistic approach.
