Six versions of the draft information security management act, all based on the US’ Federal Information Security Modernization Act, are scheduled to be reviewed by the Legislative Yuan tomorrow.

The Executive Yuan, New Power Party (NPP) and People First Party (PFP) have versions set for review, in addition to two drafts by Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators Chen Ting-fei (陳亭妃) and Yu Wan-ju (余宛如) respectively and a draft by Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Jason Hsu (許毓仁).
