House committee passes cyber-security bill
Posted on Jul 20, 2006 by Tom Fragala
Army Times reports:
The House Veterans’ Affairs Committee passed a cyber-security bill called the Veterans Identity and Credit Security Act of 2006 (H.R. 5835). The bill establishes federal standards for notifying people when records containing names, Social Security number, birth dates and other personal information are lost or stolen.
Buyer said he has little doubt the bill will pass the House of Representatives but it is unclear what the Senate will do. The Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee appears to be waiting for the Bush administration before passing any cyber-security legislation and the administration has opposed most proposed changes, he said.
