Bills Introduced – 11-14-23

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 38 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional attention in this blog:

HR 6410 To prohibit persons from storing the covered data of covered platforms in the United States in a foreign adversary or permitting governmental officials of foreign adversaries to access the covered data, and for other purposes. Luna, Anna Paulina [Rep.-R-FL-13]

HR 6413 To amend the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 to improve biorefinery, renewable chemical, and biobased product manufacturing assistance, and for other purposes. Nunn, Zachary [Rep.-R-IA-3]

I will be watching HR 6410 for language and definitions that would specifically include OT system information stored in the Cloud as part of the ‘covered data’ addressed in the bill.

I will be watching HR 6413 for language and definitions that would include chemical security and/or process safety within the scope of coverage of the bill
