Bills Introduced – 9-14-20

 

Yesterday with both the House and Senate in session there were 24 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 8239 To facilitate the development and distribution of forensic science standards by establishing in the National Institute of Standards and Technology the Organization of Scientific Area Committees for Forensic Science, and for other purposes. Rep. Johnson, Eddie Bernice [D-TX-30] 

S 4568 A bill to facilitate the development and distribution of forensic science standards by establishing in the National Institute of Standards and Technology the Organization of Scientific Area Committees for Forensic Science, and for other purposes. Sen. Wicker, Roger F. [R-MS]

I will be watching these apparent companion bills by the two respective science committee chairs for language including cyber forensics in the list of ‘Area Committees for Forensic Science’.
