Bill information

Summary

A bill to amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to reauthorize the Rural and Municipal Utility Advanced Cybersecurity Grant and Technical Assistance Program, and for other purposes.

Plain-language summary

This bill would renew and continue a federal grant program that helps rural and municipal utilities—like water systems and electric companies—improve their cybersecurity protections. The program provides both money and expert help to these smaller utilities to defend against hacking and digital attacks. Rural and municipal utilities are often targets because they have fewer resources than large utilities to protect themselves. The bill was just introduced in Congress and is in the early stages of the legislative process.
