Review - Bills Introduced – 2-27-25

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate preparing to leave for a three-day weekend, there were 189 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional attention in this blog:

HR 1709 To direct the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to submit to Congress a report examining the cybersecurity of mobile service networks, and for other purposes. Landsman, Greg [Rep.-D-OH-1]

HR 1736 To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct annual assessments on terrorism threats to the United States posed by terrorist organizations utilizing generative artificial intelligence applications, and for other purposes. Pfluger, August [Rep.-R-TX-11]

Bills Introduced – 3-10-21

Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there were 108 bills introduced. Two of those bills may receive additional coverage in this blog:

HR 1736 To direct the Secretary of Transportation to establish the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Challenge Grant Program to promote technological innovation in our Nation's communities. Rep. DeSaulnier, Mark [D-CA-11]

S 658 A bill to authorize the Secretary of Homeland Security to work with cybersecurity consortia for training, and for other purposes. Sen. Cornyn, John [R-TX] 

I think that HR 1736 may be a companion bill to S 652 that was introduced yesterday. Again, I will be watching it for language and definitions that indicate that transportation cybersecurity concerns are being addressed.

I will be watching S 658 for language and definitions that specifically address control system security training issues.
