Bills Introduced – 3-12-21

Yesterday, with just the House in session, there were 29 bills introduced. Two of those bills may received additional coverage in this blog:

HR 1870 To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to prioritize strengthening of local transportation security capabilities by assigning certain officers and intelligence analysts to State, local, and regional fusion centers in jurisdictions with a high-risk surface transportation asset and improving the timely sharing of information regarding threats of terrorism and other threats, including targeted violence, and for other purposes. Rep. Barragan, Nanette Diaz [D-CA-44]

HR 1871 To improve the understanding and clarity of Transportation Security Administration policies, and for other purposes. Rep. Bishop, Dan [R-NC-9]

I will be watching both of these bill for language and definitions that indicate coverage of chemical transportation security issues. I suspect that HR 1871 is less likely to include such language.
