Bills Introduced – 3-25-21

Yesterday with just the Senate in session, there were 116 bills introduced. Two of those bills will receive additional coverage in this blog:

S 965 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.

S 1012 A bill to prohibit the Secretary of Transportation from prohibiting the transportation of liquefied natural gas by rail, and for other purposes.

S 965 sounds like the Cyber Shield bill that was mentioned in the news yesterday (here for instance). Similar legislation was introduced last session, but did not go anywhere.

S 1012 sounds like it may be a companion bill to HR 2100 that was introduced last week.

NOTE: There is some sort of (temporary?) glitch over at Congress.gov this morn ing that is not providing sponsor information on bills introduced yesterday.
