S. 4912 · 116th Congress
Federal Cybersecurity Oversight Act of 2020
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.
No cosponsors.
This bill limits exemptions, and the duration of exemptions, from federal cybersecurity requirements and adds reporting requirements with respect to such exemptions. Specifically, exemptions may only be granted by the Office of Management and Budget and expire after one year.
