WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2026 – Rep. April McClain Delaney, D-Maryland, is preparing a bill on standards surrounding quantum technology that she plans to release in about a month, she said at the State of the Net Conference here on Monday.
While she acknowledged that this bill may not see “the light of day being in the minority,” McClain Delaney affirmed that Democrats are continuing work on legislation.
She also emphasized the importance of new legislation on artificial intelligence, data privacy and cybersecurity accountability. The current piecemeal state-by-state legislation on this topic “does not meet the moment” in a changing technological landscape, she said.
