Cyberbill set for Senate passage on Tuesday

Published October 22, 2015 9:20pm ET



The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act has been scheduled to receive a vote from the full Senate on Tuesday.

The Senate voted 83-14 on Thursday to set the date, and will need at least 60 votes to get past a filibuster. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has an been an outspoken opponent of the bill, and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is likely to join his fellow presidential contender in opposing its final passage. Considering both members have used filibusters, it’s likely that Senate leaders have estimated they have the votes to overcome one.
