Bills Introduced – 11-18-20

 

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session (and the Senate preparing to leave for their Thanksgiving Recess), there were 38 bills introduced. Three of these bills may see additional coverage in this blog:

HR 8779 To amend the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015 to require Federal agencies to obtain exemptions from certain cybersecurity requirements in order to avoid compliance with those requirements, and for other purposes.  Rep. Underwood, Lauren [D-IL-14] 

S 4912 A bill to amend the Federal Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015 to require Federal agencies to obtain exemptions from certain cybersecurity requirements in order to avoid compliance with those requirements, and for other purposes. Sen. Wyden, Ron [D-OR]

S 4920 A bill to improve the cybersecurity of small organizations with respect to teleworking, and for other purposes. Sen. Rosen, Jacky [D-NV] 

None of these bills has a real good chance of being addressed in the limited time remaining in the 116th Congress, but an apparent legal-housekeeping measure like HR 8779/S 4912 could make it to floor consideration depending on its provisions. I suspect that we will see Rosen’s bill in the 117th.
