Bills Introduced – 7-20-21

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in Washington, there were 73 bills introduced. Three of those bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 4549 Making appropriations for energy and water development and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes. Rep. Kaptur, Marcy [D-OH-9]

HR 4550 Making appropriations for the Departments of Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and related agencies for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022, and for other purposes. Rep. Price, David E. [D-NC-4]

HR 4551 To amend the U.S. SAFE WEB Act of 2006 to provide for reporting with respect to cross-border complaints involving ransomware or other cyber-related attacks, and for other purposes. Rep. Bilirakis, Gus M. [R-FL-12]

I will be following the two spending bills (as is normal here). GPO has published the text of the bills, but I am waiting on the publication of the Committee Reports before I review these two bills. As I mentioned the other day, both of these bills are currently slated to be combined in the first mini-bus next week.

I will be watching HR 4551 for language and definitions that would tend to include industrial control systems within the coverage of the legislation.
