Extends federal help for state and local governments to boost their computer security.
This bill would extend a program that helps state and local governments pay for cybersecurity improvements. It would set aside $300 million for these grants in the government's budget year 2026 and change how much federal money covers for those grants. This means local communities would continue to get support to protect their digital systems from cyberattacks.
Today, the federal program that helps state and local governments with cybersecurity grants is set to end on September 30, 2025. This bill would keep the program going for another year, until September 30, 2026, and set aside $300 million for grants in the government's budget year 2026. It would also update the federal share of these grants for that year.
