AI Flaw Reporting and Security Enhancement Act

United States · United States Congress · 26 August 2026

AI Flaw Reporting and Security Enhancement Act This bill establishes a program to facilitate the voluntary reporting and tracking of artificial intelligence (AI) flaws, to be administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). In carrying out this program, NIST must seek to convene various stakeholders to establish common definitions for terms related to AI flaws and criteria for the classification of AI flaws (e.g., security-related flaws and safety-related flaws). The group must also support the development of technical standards and guidance related to detecting, managing, and disclosing AI flaws and prioritizing the remediation of such flaws. Further, NIST must develop, or enter into cooperative agreements with institutions of higher education or research institutions to develop, infrastructure for the voluntary reporting, collection, and tracking of AI flaws. This must include a national database of AI flaws or the modification of an existing national database to account for AI flaws. (NIST currently administers a national database of cybersecurity vulnerabilities.) NIST must consider certain topics when developing this infrastructure, including the interoperability of the infrastructure with relevant existing systems, standards, and best practices. Within three years of the bill’s enactment, NIST must report to Congress on the implementation of these provisions. Under the bill, an AI flaw is a set of conditions or behaviors that allow for the violation of certain policies (e.g., safety or security policies) and is not necessarily associated with malicious intent.

Bill· HJRESH.J.Res. 187 (119th)referred

Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services of the Department of Health and Human Services relating to "Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model".

United States · United States Congress · 21 August 2026

This joint resolution prohibits the Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) from testing a new Medicare payment model in certain states that involves a prior authorization process and the use of enhanced technology by third-party contractors to determine whether certain claims should be paid. Specifically, the joint resolution nullifies a notice issued by the CMS on July 1, 2025, titled Medicare Program; Implementation of Prior Authorization for Select Services for the Wasteful and Inappropriate Services Reduction (WISeR) Model . (On May 12, 2026, the Government Accountability Office issued a letter of opinion stating that this notice constituted an agency rule and is therefore subject to the Congressional Review Act.) The CMS selected six states to participate in this model over a six-year period: New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Washington. Under the model, contracted companies must process prior authorization requests (i.e., requests for coverage determinations before a service is furnished) for certain services using enhanced technology (e.g., artificial intelligence). Contracted companies are paid based on the share of resulting savings. The CMS aims to test the model's ability to produce accurate results while streamlining the prior authorization process for Medicare claims. The model is based in part on similar processes used for Medicare Advantage claims.&nbsp; CMS began implementing the model on January 1, 2026. This joint resolution prohibits the CMS from continuing to do so.

To amend the Research and Development, Competition, and Innovation Act to support nucleic acid screening, and for other purposes.

United States · United States Congress · 20 August 2026

Nucleic Acid Standards for Biosecurity Act This bill explicitly requires the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to support the development of best practices and technical standards for nucleic acid synthesis. Nucleic acids, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), carry genetic information within cells. Nucleic acid synthesis is the process of designing and creating custom nucleic acids; it is used in the development of medications and agricultural products. However, this technology also poses a risk of misuse (e.g., the intentional or unintentional creation of dangerous biological agents). The bill requires NIST to carry out measurement research to support the development and improvement of biosecurity best practices and technical standards related to nucleic acid synthesis. This effort must address specified topics including nucleic acid synthesis screening, operational security, and conformity assessment. (A 2023 executive order titled Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence directed NIST to develop and refine similar specifications and best practices for use by synthetic nucleic acid providers. NIST's work on this topic is ongoing.) In carrying out this effort, NIST must convene stakeholders to develop and periodically update consensus priorities and best practices for synthetic nucleic acid screening mechanisms. Within a specified period, NIST must submit a summary of the stakeholder group’s findings to Congress. NIST must also take steps to advance risk management best practices and technical standards for engineering biology and biomanufacturing, including with respect to risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence.
