Republican and Democratic lawmakers have recently introduced several cybersecurity-related bills seeking to address issues ranging from tougher penalties for cybercriminals to improving protection of school districts.

A Senate bill, the International Cybercrime Prevention Act, would increase the criminal penalties for attackers who target U.S. critical infrastructure, such as power plants and hospitals. Meanwhile, a House bill, the Enhancing K-12 Cybersecurity Act, would provide funding to protect school district networks.
A third measure, the Data Protection Act, would create a federal agency to protect Americans' private data.

Plus, several senators are circulating a draft of a federal breach notification bill that would require government agencies and businesses that support critical infrastructure to report a cyber incident to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency within 24 hours (see: Senators Draft a Federal Breach Notification Bill).
