Bills Introduced – 4-28-22

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 65 bills introduced. Two of those bills may see additional coverage in this blog:

HR 7629 To require a report on Federal support to the cybersecurity of commercial satellite systems, establish a commercial satellite system cybersecurity clearinghouse in the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and for other purposes. Rep. Malinowski, Tom [D-NJ-7]

S 4109 A bill to authorize the development of a national strategy for the research and development of distributed ledger technologies and their applications, to authorize awards to support research on distributed ledger technologies and their applications, and to authorize an applied research project on distributed ledger technologies in commerce. Sen. Wicker, Roger F. [R-MS]

I will be covering HR 7629.

I will be watching S 4109 for language and definitions that specifically require the inclusion of cybersecurity research within the scope of the programs outlined in the bill.
