Earlier this week Sen Warnock (D,GA) was added as a co-sponsor for S 2393 [removed from paywall], the Food and Agriculture Industry Cybersecurity Support Act. Warnock is a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee to which this bill was assigned for consideration. This means that, were there more time remaining in the session, there could be sufficient influence to see the bill considered in Committee, instead it is unlikely to make a difference.
The bill would require National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to establish a food and agriculture cybersecurity clearinghouse which would include direct support by NTIA to the food and agriculture industry. No funding is authorized by this bill.
This bill is very similar to HR 1219, which was introduced in March. No action has been taken on that bill.
