Controversial CISA on track for final vote on Tuesday
The Senate has essentially put an end to further debate regarding the controversial Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, and has scheduled the final vote for Tuesday afternoon. The fact that the procedural vote to schedule the final polling on Tuesday went through at 83-14 suggests that the Senate has done with debating the issues and wants to get the Bill out of the way. CISA has already been approved by the House of Representatives.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM, PBS NEWSHOUR WEEKEND ANCHOR:

The U.S. Senate has scheduled final votes next week on a bill that would permit companies to share information about hacking attacks with each other and with the government, without fear of lawsuits.

The so-called Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act or CISA has already passed the House of Representatives.

But several big tech companies like Apple and Twitter say it does too little to protect individual privacy.

Joining me now to discuss the bill is Politico reporter Tim Starks.

Help me understand this. We like to think of legislation as trying to solve a particular problem. What is the problem that CISA is trying to solve?
