Bills Introduced – 5-12-20

Yesterday with the Senate in town and the House meeting in pro forma session, there were 72 bills introduced. One of those bills will receive future coverage in this blog:

S 3688 A bill to amend the Federal Power Act to authorize the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the Secretary of Energy to offer assistance in securing the assets of the owners and operators of energy infrastructure against threats and increasing the security of the electric grid, and for other purposes. Sen. Murkowski, Lisa [R-AK]

I suspect that this bill may be an attempt to achieve at least a portion of what S 2657 was attempting to do in the area of grid security. That comprehensive energy security bill died on the floor of the Senate.
