Yesterday 111 bills were introduced in the House. The
Congressional web site is not yet reporting on the Senate introduced bills
because of how long the Senate stayed in session last night. The large number
of bills in the House is due to their leaving town for their Easter break.
Of those bills introduced in the House yesterday three may
be of specific interest to readers of this blog:
HR 1646
- To require the Secretary of Homeland Security to research how small and
medium sized unmanned aerial systems could be used in an attack, how to prevent
or mitigate the effects of such an attack, and... Rep. Watson Coleman, Bonnie [D-NJ-12]
HR 1679
- To ensure the safe transportation of Bakken crude oil by rail, and for other
purposes. Rep. Garamendi, John [D-CA-3]
HR 1704
- To establish a nation data breach notification standard, and for other purposes.
Rep.
Langevin, James R. [D-RI-2]
HR 1704 is not the bill on the same topic that was
marked up in the Energy and Commerce Committee this week. This, combined with
the fact that Langevin is not on either of the two committees to which this
bill was assigned, means that we will probably not be hearing about HR 1704
again. NOTE: The Committee bill approved this week did not contain any control
system language; it was strictly a personal information protection bill.
