An article posted yesterday to theHill.com web site reported that Rep Carey (R,OH) and Rep Ross (D,NC) had introduced a bill in the House that would establish a “Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program”. While the House did meet in pro forma session yesterday, there is no record of any bill being introduced by Carey and Ross. This is probably due to the very short window for staff to get bills to the Clerk of the House when pro forma sessions are being held.
A press release was posted to Carey’s web site where he is quoted as saying:
“Establishing the Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program will strengthen our resilience by further developing a high-skilled workforce with energy-specific cybersecurity expertise. America must be unified in our response to foreign adversaries seeking to attack our energy networks, which is why I am proud to introduce this bi-partisan legislation with Representative Deborah Ross and look forward working together toward its passage.”
Interestingly, this would be the first bill sponsored by Carey since he joined the House in November of last year, though he has been a cosponsor on 62 pieces of legislation.
The House will be holding another pro forma session on
Monday and the full House will be in session on Tuesday. This bill could be
introduced in either session.
