The House Homeland Security Committee is expected to advance a series of bills that will impact DHS operations and infrastructure on topics ranging from bug bounties to drones.
In a session slated for Sept. 13, lawmakers will amend and vote on legislation that would provide protections against unmanned aircraft, set up disclosure policies for websites, establish a departmentwide bug bounty program as well as provide secure radios for border agents.
The Protecting Critical Infrastructure Against Drones and Emerging Threats Act introduced by Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) would require DHS to assess the threat of drone aircraft to critical infrastructure.
