Last month, the House Homeland Security Committee published their Report on HR 3286 (removed from paywall). In May they held a business meeting and ordered the bill reported after adopting substitute language. The bill is now cleared for possible consideration by the full House after they return to Washington in September. The bill establishes several areas of responsibility for CISA regarding open-source software security. No funding is authorized in the bill.
Moving Forward
The bipartisan support for this bill was exemplified by both
the voice vote for the adoption of the substitute language in the Homeland
Security Committee, and the lack of an ‘alternate views’ section in the report.
This means that if the House leadership (influenced by the more radical members
of the conference) can be convinced to bring this bill to the floor, it would probably
be considered under the suspension of the rules process which provide for limited
debate, no floor amendments and a requirement for a supermajority to pass.
