Satellite security and proposed social media warnings headline Commerce committee markup.
WASHINGTON, April 13, 2026 – The Senate Commerce Committee will convene Tuesday to markup nine pieces of legislation, including bills focused on satellite security and social media safeguards.
Among the measures under consideration is the Secure Space Act, which targets national security risks in satellite communications.
The bipartisan bill would prohibit the Federal Communications Commission from granting licenses or market access to entities deemed security threats, including companies on the agency’s Covered List such as Huawei and ZTE.
