Extends and boosts cybersecurity grants for local governments to protect against modern threats like AI.
This bill would extend a federal grant program that helps state and local governments improve their cybersecurity. It would expand the program to cover new threats like artificial intelligence and operational technology. This means more money and clearer rules for communities to protect their digital systems until 2033.
Currently, the federal cybersecurity grant program for state and local governments is set to end in 2025 and mainly covers traditional information systems. If this bill passes, the program would continue until 2033 and expand to protect operational technology and artificial intelligence systems. Also, states would have new rules for sharing grant money with local governments. For grants awarded on or after January 1, 2026, or for changes in funding, states would need to ensure at least 80 percent of certain funds reach local governments. For other grants, states would need to ensure at least 25 percent reaches them.
