Last month, Rep Aderholt (R,AL) introduced HR 5894, the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2024. There is no report from the House Appropriations Committee on this legislation, instead the Committee staff has published an explanatory materials document, reflecting the fact that the Committee has not held a markup hearing on the bill.
There are no cybersecurity mentions in the bill, but the explanatory document does outline cybersecurity spending and discussions. There are three mentions of spending for chemical emergency response in the bill and multiple discussions on the topic in the explanatory text.
Moving Forward
The House Rules Committee announced
yesterday that they would hold a rules hearing on this bill on November 13th,
2023. To date, 326 amendments
have been proposed for consideration during this rule development hearing. None
of the amendments are of specific interest here. With this hearing on Monday,
the House could start consideration of the bill on Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week.

Committee’s explanatory text, including cybersecurity spending and CBRN
