Here is a earmark amendment to the cybercrime bill that will most likely hit the Senate floor this week. It is on the S.3414 part of the bill. Amendment 2 (S.AMDT.2575) under miscellaneous page S5403. I would put in a link but it times out after 30min. Just go to senate.gov and active legislation if you want to see it. Follow the above location to find it.
