Bills Introduced – 1-25-22

Yesterday, with just the House meeting in pro forma session, there were 37 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional attention in this blog:

HR 6497 To modernize Federal information security management and improve Federal cybersecurity to combat persisting and emerging threats, and for other purposes. Rep. Maloney, Carolyn B. [D-NY-12]

HR 6499 To enhance rail safety and provide for the safe and covered transport of materials in railroad cars, and for other purposes. Rep. Meng, Grace [D-NY-6] 

I do not generally cover cybersecurity legislation that covers just federal agencies, but I will be watching this bill for language and definitions that may include operational technology in the coverage of its provisions.

I will be watching HR 6499 for language and definitions that would cover shipping of chemicals in the coverage of its provisions.
