Improving Access to Maternity Care Act This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to require the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) to identify maternity care health professional target areas, which are areas within health professional shortage areas that have a shortage of maternity care health professionals, for purposes of assigning maternity care health professionals to those areas. HRSA must collect and publish data comparing the availability of and need for maternity care health services in health professional shortage areas and areas within those areas.

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. 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.

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. 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.

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.
