Bills Introduced – 09-14-17

With both the House and Senate preparing to leave for their weekend recess, there were 64 bills introduced yesterday. Of those two may be of specific interest to readers of this blog:

HR 3776 To support United States international cyber diplomacy, and for other purposes. Rep. Royce, Edward R. [R-CA-39]

S 1821 A bill to establish the National Commission on the Cybersecurity of United States Election Systems, and for other purposes. Sen. Gillibrand, Kirsten E. [D-NY]

I am not sure what ‘cyber diplomacy’ is, but if it concerns control system security issues I will be covering HR 3776 here.


I do not really plan to expand the focus of this blog to include detailed coverage of election cybersecurity issues, but I will be watching S 1821 for the definitions it uses and the scope of coverage of the Commission.
