Nurse Staffing Standards for Patient Safety and Quality Care Act of 2017 This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to require hospitals to implement and submit to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) a staffing plan that complies with specified minimum nurse-to-patient ratios by unit. Hospitals must post a notice regarding nurse-to-patient ratios in each unit and maintain records of actual ratios for each shift in each unit. HHS must adjust Medicare payments to hospitals to cover additional costs incurred in providing services to Medicare beneficiaries that are attributable to compliance with these ratios. The bill states that nurses have a duty and a right to act based on their professional judgment and provide care in the exclusive interests of patients. Nurses may object to, or refuse to participate in, an assignment if it would violate minimum ratios or if they are not prepared by education or experience to fulfill the assignment without compromising the safety of a patient or jeopardizing their nurse's license. Hospitals may not: (1) take specified actions against a nurse based on the nurse's refusal to accept an assignment for such a reason; or (2) discriminate against individuals for good faith complaints relating to the care, services, or conditions of the hospital or related facilities. HHS must publish the names of hospitals penalized for violating the requirements in this bill. The bill adds stipends to the nurse workforce loan repayment and scholarship program. The nurse retention grant program is expanded to authorize programs to implement nurse preceptorship and mentorship projects.

Support cyber and physical security bills that uphold our current security partnership with the Transportation Security Administration public-private partnership (no top-down regulatory process); public-private information sharing; liability protections for information sharing; federal R&D support; and appropriate criminal penalties for bad actors. These issues arose in: Department of Homeland Security Authorization Act HR 2825. This legislation reauthorizes Department of Homeland Security operations. AGA advocated to maintain the regulatory authority of the Department of Homeland Security's Transportation Security Administration (TSA) over pipeline security programming. S. 783 Surface and Maritime Transportation Security Act. This legislation would authorize TSA to undergo an internal review of how they perform their security functions (audits, reviews, best practice developments, etc.) on all surface transportation modes, including pipelines, and recommend improvements. Importantly, the legislation ensures that industry will be at the table to help TSA better understand problems in the field and how to partner better with the industry security community. S. 783 passed out of the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this year. We anticipate similar legislation will be introduced and moved in the House of Representatives. H. R. 1224, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Assessment, and Auditing Act of 2017. This legislation initially sought to authorize the National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) to conduct audits of both private and public sector adherence to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, a public-private non-regulatory cybersecurity maturity model that measures an entitys current cybersecurity capability. The bill passed the House Science Committee in early March 2018. H.R. 2392, the Cyber SAFETY Act of 2018. A utility sector coalition supports a slight modification to the SAFETY Act, an existing law that provides liability protection in the aftermath of a successful terrorist attack for companies that employ SAFETY Act approved anti-terrorism technologies, policies and procedures. This modification would clarify the law to specifically include cybersecurity equipment, policies, procedures, etc. H.R.4036, Active Cyber Defense Certainty Act. Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) introduced legislation that would provide a legal/liability shield for companies that take an active defense posture when fighting cyber intrusions. H.R. 5175 - Pipeline and LNG Facility Cybersecurity Preparedness Act - a pipeline security (cyber and physical) bill that seeks to give DOE a coordinating role in government-private sector pipeline security policy activities, including security planning, response/recovery, and evaluation programs; technology advancement and related pilot programs; and workforce development. The House Energy and Commerce Committee passed this bill in late Spring 2018.

Support cyber and physical security bills that uphold our current security partnership with the Transportation Security Administration public-private partnership (no top-down regulatory process); public-private information sharing; liability protections for information sharing; federal R&D support; and appropriate criminal penalties for bad actors. These issues arose in: Department of Homeland Security Authorization Act HR 2825. This legislation reauthorizes Department of Homeland Security operations. Responding to concerns from our pipeline security partners at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that the legislation might weaken pipeline security programming, AGA worked with the House Homeland Security Committee and is currently working with the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to ensure that final legislation will preserve the pipeline sectors security partnership with TSA. S. 783 Surface and Maritime Transportation Security Act. This legislation would authorize TSA to undergo an internal review of how they perform their security functions (audits, reviews, best practice developments, etc.) on all surface transportation modes, including pipelines, and recommend improvements. Importantly, the legislation ensures that industry will be at the table to help TSA better understand problems in the field and how to partner better with the industry security community. S. 783 passed out of the Senate Commerce Committee earlier this year. We anticipate similar legislation will be introduced and moved in the House of Representatives. H. R. 1224, the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Assessment, and Auditing Act of 2017. This legislation initially sought to authorize the National Institute for Science and Technology (NIST) to conduct audits of both private and public sector adherence to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, a public-private non-regulatory cybersecurity maturity model that measures an entitys current cybersecurity capability. H.R. 2392, the Cyber SAFETY Act of 2018. A utility sector coalition supports a slight modification to the SAFETY Act, an existing law that provides liability protection in the aftermath of a successful terrorist attack for companies that employ SAFETY Act approved anti-terrorism technologies, policies and procedures. This modification would clarify the law to specifically include cybersecurity equipment, policies, procedures, etc. H.R.4036, Active Cyber Defense Certainty Act. Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) introduced legislation that would provide a legal/liability shield for companies that take an active defense posture when fighting cyber intrusions.
