WASHINGTON, DC - The Energy and Commerce Committee held three hearings this week ranging from cybersecurity in the health care sector to spectrum. During Tuesday’s hearings, #SubEnvironment members examined legislation that would improve the existing Brownfields Program and, in #SubOversight, members explored how to better utilize public-private partnerships in order to bolster cybersecurity in the health care industry. Rounding out the week, #SubCommTech discussed the impact of spectrum on economic growth and the federal government’s role in meeting spectrum needs.
