Most major cybersecurity legislative provisions were enacted prior to 2002, despite many recommendations having been made over the past decade. More recently, in the 115th and 116th Congresses, cybersecurity legislation has received either committee or floor action or final passage, and both chambers have held multiple hearings.
In the 116th Congress, a number of House and Senate bills have received consideration, and hearings have been held by committees in each chamber.
In the 115th Congress, 31 bills received some type of action (committee consideration or passage by one or both chambers). Five bills became public law. The House held 54 hearings on cybersecurity issues and the Senate held 40 hearings.

This report provides links to cybersecurity-related bills with some type of committee, floor, or chamber action (i.e., action subsequent to introduction). It also provides links to cybersecurity-related hearings. Table 1 lists House bills in the 116th Congress. Table 2 lists Senate bills in the 116th Congress. Table 3 lists House bills in the 115th Congress. Table 4 lists Senate bills in the 115th Congress.
In the 116th Congress, the House has passed four cybersecurity-related bills and the Senate has given varying levels of consideration to four others, passing one. See Table 1 for a list of House bills and Table 2 for a list of Senate bills in the 116th Congress.
Thirty-one bills received committee consideration or passed one or both chambers in the 115th Congress. Five bills became public laws:
On September 28, 2018, the Department of Energy Research and Innovation Act was signed into law (P.L. 115-246). The law establishes a Department of Energy policy for science and energy research and development programs; reforms National Laboratory management and technology transfer programs; and directs DOE to report to Congress on integrated research programs in cybersecurity and national security, among other issues.
On August 13, 2018, the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 was signed into law (P.L. 115-232). The bill authorizes appropriations and sets forth policies regarding Department of Defense's military activities, including cybersecurity matters.
On December 12, 2017, the President signed the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (P.L. 115-91), which establishes several cybersecurity efforts and new rules and programs related to information security. These include an official ban on Kaspersky Lab software (Section 1634); definition by the President of "cyberwar" (Section 1633); the Pentagon's reexamination of the Defense Department's internal organizational structure surrounding its cybersecurity-related missions (Section 1641, Section 1644, and others); and the National Science Foundation and Office of Personnel Management's launch of a joint pilot scholarship program aimed at educating and recruiting talent directly out of universities (Section 1649).
On November 21, 2017, the FITARA Enhancement Act of 2017 became law (P.L. 115-88). Among other things, it requires the chief information officer of each covered agency for information technology to conduct a risk management review of those investments that have received a high-risk rating for four consecutive quarters.
On November 2, 2017, Congress passed the Strengthening State and Local Cyber Crime Fighting Act of 2017 (P.L. 115-76), which authorizes a National Computer Forensics Institute within the U.S. Secret Service. The institute is to disseminate information related to the investigation and prevention of cyber and electronic crime and related threats.

The following tables list cybersecurity hearings in the 116th Congress. Table 5 lists House hearings arranged by date in reverse chronological order. Table 6 lists House hearings arranged by committee. Table 7 lists Senate hearings arranged by date in reverse chronological order, and Table 8 lists Senate hearings arranged by committee. CRS identified these hearings as being primarily about cybersecurity or related issues. However, no single, objective selection criterion was available for CRS to use in identifying which hearings to include. The list of hearings should therefore not be considered definitive.
