The House Homeland Security Committee will mark up...

The House Homeland Security Committee will mark up the National Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection Act (HR-3696) Wednesday. The bill would primarily codify the Department of Homeland Security’s existing authority on cybersecurity issues, but not give DHS new powers. The House Cybersecurity Subcommittee passed the bill in a mid-January markup, which added new language on data breaches, cybersecurity workforce development and DHS’s SAFETY Act office (CD Jan 16 p6). The markup is set to begin at 10 a.m. in 311 Cannon.
