Bills Introduced – 4-20-23

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate preparing to leave Washington for a long weekend, there were 108 bills introduced. Three of those bills will receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 2741 Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2023 Graves, Sam [Rep.-R-MO-6]

HR 2745 To amend title 28, United States Code, to allow claims against foreign states for unlawful computer intrusion, and for other purposes. Bergman, Jack [Rep.-R-MI-1]

HR 2756 To direct the Secretary of Defense to seek to engage the Government of Taiwan regarding expanded cooperation with respect to military cybersecurity activities, and for other purposes. Gallagher, Mike [Rep.-R-WI-8]

The initial text of H 2741 is available. Amendments will be made in Committee that will expand the bill substantially. It will be interesting to see if the Republican leadership brings this bill to the floor or ends up including it as part of a spending bill as has been frequently done in recent history.
