Bills Introduced – 2-8-24

Yesterday, with just the Senate in session, there were 35 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional attention here:

S 3773 A bill to require the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to evaluate the cybersecurity practices and protocols of the Department, and for other purposes. Rubio, Marco [Sen.-R-FL]

S 3792 A bill to expand the functions of the National Institute of Standards and Technology to include workforce frameworks for critical and emerging technologies, to require the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology to develop an artificial intelligence workforce framework, and periodically review and update the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity, and for other purposes.

I will be watching S 3773 for language and definitions that would specifically include operational technology like building control systems and security systems within the scope of the requirements.
