Proactive Cyber Initiatives Act of 2022

 
This bill addresses proactive cybersecurity initiatives.
 
Specifically, each department or agency must (1) conduct regular penetration testing on the information systems of such department or agency; and (2) provide to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Office of Management and Budget a report on the results of such testing, including identifying any risks discovered and describing how cybersecurity may be improved.
 
CISA must issue guidance to facilitate the implementation of such requirements.
 
Further, CISA must report to Congress, including an analysis of
 
 
whether increased engagement is needed from national laboratories and the private sector to assist with the protection of the information systems of agencies through the use of active defense techniques, deception technologies, and penetration testing;
 
 the feasibility and benefits of consolidating within CISA proactive cybersecurity initiatives; and
 
 whether CISA requires additional authorities or resources to carry out proactive cybersecurity initiatives for agencies.
 
 
The bill directs the Office of the National Cyber Director to deconflict overlapping cybersecurity jurisdiction between agencies.
 
The Government Accountability Office must report to Congress on penetration testing and active defense techniques, and study innovative uses of proactive cybersecurity initiatives.

Protecting Access to Medication Abortion Act

 
This bill directs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to take steps to allow patients to receive prescriptions for mifepristone, a drug approved by the FDA for medical abortion, via telehealth and for prescriptions for the drug to be filled by mail. 
 
(Mifepristone is subject to a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy, which imposes various safety-related requirements. During the COVID-19 public health emergency, the FDA suspended enforcement of the current strategy's requirement that the drug must be dispensed in person, and this suspension is still in effect. In December 2021, the FDA stated the data supported modifying the strategy to remove the in-person dispensing requirement.)
 
Under this bill, the FDA must require the holder of the relevant approved drug application to submit a proposal to modify the strategy. The modification shall (1) remove the in-person dispensing requirement, (2) allow patients to access prescriptions for mifepristone via telehealth, and (3) authorize all pharmacies certified to dispense mifepristone to patients to do so via mail.
