Bills Introduced – 5-14-21

Yesterday, with just the House in session, there were 36 bills introduced. Two of those bills will receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 3243 To codify the Transportation Security Administration's responsibility relating to securing pipelines against cybersecurity threats, acts of terrorism, and other nefarious acts that jeopardize the physical security or cybersecurity of pipelines, and for other purposes. Rep. Cleaver, Emanuel [D-MO-5]

HR 3262 To require the Secretary of Transportation to submit a report on cybersecurity risks to motor vehicle safety, and for other purposes. Rep. Upton, Fred [R-MI-6]

Looking at the list of cosponsors, HR 3243 may be as much about maintaining committee oversight of the pipeline security as it is about improving pipeline cybersecurity. We will have to wait to see what the actual language is in the bill.
