Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session and
preparing to leave Washington for their two-week Easter recess, 65 bills were
introduced. Three of those bills will receive additional attention in this
blog:
H
Res 1102 Providing for the concurrence by the House in the Senate amendment
to H.R. 2882, with an amendment. Granger,
Kay [Rep.-R-TX-12]
H
Res 1103 Declaring the office of Speaker of the House of Representatives to
be vacant. Greene, Marjorie Taylor [Rep.-R-GA-14]
S
4054 A bill to require entities to meet minimum cybersecurity standards to
be eligible for Medicare accelerated and advance payment programs if the reason
for the need for such payments is due to a cybersecurity incident. Warner,
Mark R. [Sen.-D-VA]
As I
reported last night, the House adopted H Res 1102 yesterday afternoon, which
sent HR 2882 back to the Senate with an amendment consisting of the text of H
Res 1102. The Senate subsequently took up that amendment and adopted it early
this morning, providing for funding of the remaining portions of the Federal
Government through the end of the fiscal year (more on those deliberations in a
subsequent post).
H Res 1103 was not offered as a ‘privileged resolution’ so
immediate (2 legislative days) action by the House is not required. There is an
interesting
article over on Politico.com about this resolution.
Mention in Passing
I would like to mention in passing S
4064, a bill to amend section 50905 of title 51, United States Code, to
extend and modify provisions relating to license applications and requirements
for commercial space launch activities, and for other purposes. This will have
some sort of effect on the current exception from FAA general flight safety
regulations for commercial space flight. I would expect that this bill would
require some sort of transition to ‘normal’ space flight safety requirements.
