Yesterday, with both the House and Senate in session, there
were 43 bills introduced. Of these, two may be of specific interest to readers
of this blog:
HR 4766
To amend title 49, United States Code, to prohibit further extension of
requirement to implement positive train control beyond December 31, 2018, and
for other purposes. Rep.
DeFazio, Peter A. [D-OR-4]
HR 4773
To require the Administrator for General Services to obtain an antivirus
product to make available to Federal agencies in order to provide the product
to individuals whose personally identifiable information may have been
compromised. Rep. Cartwright, Matt [D-PA-17]
It looks like HR 4766 would attempt to remove the current
discretionary authority of the Department of Transportation to extend the PTC
deadline.
I’m not sure that HR 4773 will get any further mention here,
but I have to watch for the language of this bill to see if it really is as
non-sensical as the current description would lead us to believe.
