The Healthcare Cybersecurity Act has found sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives, bringing the bill to both chambers of Congress. Initially proposed in 2022, the law was reintroduced to the Senate in July, co-sponsored by Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), Todd Young (R-Ind.) and Angus King (I-Me.). In the House, the companion bill is similarly sponsored by a bi-partisan coalition, namely Jason Crow (D-CO), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), and Andy Kim (D-NJ). If passed, the law (as currently written) would direct the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to more effectively coordinate to develop cybersecurity protocols for healthcare entities.
