This provision would ensure a more timely review to keep the guidance current.\n\nThe bill also requires FDA to share information publicly regarding federal resources for health care professionals, medical device manufacturers, and health systems to identify and address cyber vulnerabilities, and access support. Additionally, the bill requires a GAO report examining medical device cybersecurity vulnerabilities and recommendations for improving federal coordination to support cybersecurity for medical devices.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:13:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.young.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/young-rosen-introduce-bipartisan-legislation-to-strengthen-cybersecurity-for-medical-devices/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.7473101615905762, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
