Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 127 bills introduced. Three of those bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:
HR 1285 To require a report from the Secretary of Homeland Security on the existence of programs and components of the Department of Homeland Security that are not explicitly authorized in statute. Donalds, Byron [Rep.-R-FL-19]
HR 1288 To amend the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 to impose sanctions against governments of foreign states that engage in an act or acts of gross negligence with respect to state owned, operated, or directed chemical or biological programs. Feenstra, Randy [Rep.-R-IA-4]
S 576 A bill to enhance safety requirements for trains transporting hazardous materials, and for other purposes. Brown, Sherrod [Sen.-D-OH]
I will be covering HR 1285 and S 576.
I suspect that HR 1288 will be dealing with responding to the reported release of COVID-19 from Chines labs. I will be covering this bill if the language or definitions specifically include large scale chemical manufacturing releases in the ‘act or acts of gross negligence’ scope of the bill.
NOTE: The House will not be in session today and will meet
in pro forma session on Friday.
NOTE: Corrected date in Title, 06:35 3-3-23
