House Science Committee Approves HR 7569 – Cybersecurity Education

On Tuesday, the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee held a business meeting where they considered HR 7569, the Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Act of 2022. The bill was adopted without amendment by a voice vote. The legislation would require DOE to establish an “Energy Cybersecurity University Leadership Program”.

Once the Committee’s report is prepared, the bill will be cleared for consideration by the full House. The bill would probably be considered under the suspension of the rules process. That means limited debate, no floor amendments, and would require a super majority for passage.
