Last month, Sen Reex (D,RI) introduced S 4678, the FY 2025 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies bill. The Senate Appropriations Committee published their report on the bill. The bill contains no mention of cybersecurity or chemical safety issues. The Report includes multiple cybersecurity discussions.
Moving Forward
The House version of this spending bill, HR 8772 [removed
from paywall], was
rejected by the House on a ‘bipartisan’ vote of 205 to 213 (ten
Republicans voted Nay, three Democrats vote Yeah, so the vote was somewhat
bipartisan). Technically, this means that the Senate cannot take up this bill,
because all spending bills must originate in the House. That makes consideration
of this bill low priority in the Senate.

the bill, see my article at CFSN Detailed Analysis - https://patrickcoyle.substack.com/p/s-4678-introduced
