NTIA Policy and Cybersecurity Coordination Act
NTIA Policy and Cybersecurity Coordination Act
Plain Language Summary
# NTIA Policy and Cybersecurity Coordination Act Summary **What It Would Do:** This bill would strengthen the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), a federal agency that handles technology and internet policy. The legislation aims to improve how the NTIA coordinates with other government agencies and private companies on cybersecurity issues. It would establish clearer roles and responsibilities for the NTIA in managing national cybersecurity efforts and ensure better communication between different parts of the government that work on technology security. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect federal agencies involved in cybersecurity, technology companies that work with the government, and potentially internet users broadly—since stronger cybersecurity coordination could improve protections against cyber attacks.
Government officials and private sector leaders working on national security and tech policy would see the most direct impact. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator John Hickenlooper (D-CO) in the 119th Congress. The lack of detailed subject information suggests the bill may still be in early development stages.
