John Bennett writes committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Vice Chairman Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) urged U.S. Chamber of Commerce members to lobby for passage of cybersecurity legislation during the group’s recent conference in Washington.
Feinstein and Chambliss are seeking a full Senate vote on their Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act in the upcoming lame-duck congressional session.
âIf we can get this bill on the floor, I think we can pass it,â Feinstein told business leaders, according to the report.
Chambliss predicts failure to pass a bill during the lame-duck session after next month’s elections would delay passage by a year or more, according to Bennett’s article.
