I don't see the problem as reported.  The bill, unlike many others, is
extremely friendly to unauthorized security testing, to the degree
that I would consider it problematic for that reason.  It excludes
“legitimate business activity” and “Cybersecurity active defense
measures that are designed to prevent or detect unauthorized computer
access”.  If your “research” doesn't fall into those categories,
perhaps it is really prolematic?
