Lobbyists said they believe lawmakers may also refile the Reinforcing and Evaluating Service Integrity, Local Infrastructure and Emergency Notification for Today’s (Resilient) Networks Act (see 2102160067) before the panel. “If we are to facilitate a safe and competitive wireless future, we must promote the security of modern wireless equipment and more resilient wireless supply chains,” said House Commerce Chairman Frank Pallone, D-N.J., and House Communications Chairman Mike Doyle, D-Pa. The “bipartisan bills” they will examine “aim to help better position the federal government to support those critical goals.” The partially virtual hearing will begin at 10:30 a.m. in 2123 Rayburn.
