Bills Introduced – 9-28-22

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 82 bills introduced (the homestretch of campaign season is starting). Of those bills there is one that may receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 9022 To support research, development, demonstration, and other activities to develop innovative vehicle technologies, and for other purposes. Stevens, Haley M. [Rep.-D-MI-11]

I will be watching this bill for definitions and language that includes cybersecurity requirements within the legislation’s scope.
