Earlier this month Rep Fleischmann (R,TN) introduced HR 8997, the Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2025. The House Appropriations Committee published their Report on the bill. The bill only contains one cybersecurity mention, but the report discusses multiple cybersecurity issues as well as some unique chemical processing issues.
Moving Forward
The House is expected
to consider the bill this coming week. This was one of the spending bills that
was passed last year, and it will probably pass again. It is highly unlikely that
the Senate will take up their version of the bill before the end of the
September. That means that once again, we are going to see conflict between the
House leadership and the spending radicals on how to pass minibus spending
bills. This year, that conflict is going to be aggrevated by whatever election
results we end up with in November.
