Bill to strengthen protection of critical infrastructure like power grids and water systems from attacks.
The problem
Critical infrastructure like power plants and water supplies face growing cyber and physical security threats. Current protections may be inadequate against coordinated attacks.
The proposal
Bill would establish new security standards, coordination between agencies, and requirements for infrastructure operators to protect systems from cyber and physical threats.
The impact
Affects energy, water, transportation, and communications companies. Also impacts government agencies and potentially consumers through changes to service reliability and costs.
Better security standards could prevent attacks that harm essential services. Citizens depend on reliable power, water, and communications.
Requiring government agencies to work together could identify threats faster. Sharing information between agencies reduces gaps in protection.
Preventing infrastructure failures protects jobs and economic activity. Avoiding major outages saves billions in disruption costs.
Requirements for emergency plans help companies and agencies respond faster during crises. Better planning reduces chaos and recovery time.
Companies must spend money on new security systems and staff. These costs could be passed to consumers through higher bills.
Increased monitoring and data sharing between agencies could reduce privacy. Citizens' personal information might be collected or shared.
Coordinating across multiple agencies creates administrative complexity and cost. Federal oversight could slow decision-making.
Small utility companies may struggle to afford new security requirements. This could favor large corporations with more resources.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
