The U.S. Senate on Tuesday passed “a major piece of cybersecurity legislation intended to stem the flood of cyberattacks on both government agencies and private companies,” says The Hill.

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act was approved 74-21, with Hawaii Democrats Brian Schatz and Mazie Hirono voting “yea.”

In a statement, Hirono said, “This legislation will help prevent cyber attacks by facilitating a common awareness in the cyber realm. When the private sector has a common view of cyber threats and shares cybersecurity information, companies can more effectively defend their networks.”

Hirono’s office says the legislation includes Hirono’s amendment “to protect consumer privacy by requiring the federal government to fully implement privacy protections before companies can be shielded from liability for sharing cyber threat information.”

The bill is headed toward the White House for approval.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the U.S. Capitol, the House of Representatives voted “to revive the Export-Import Bank with the support of moderate Republicans in a major setback for conservatives who wanted to kill an institution they say epitomizes corporate welfare,” says Politico.

Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard voted for the bill, which was approved 313-118. Mark Takai was absent due to health problems.

The bill now heads to the Senate.
