MTS CYBER Act of 2026 Marine Transportation System Cybersecurity...
To direct the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review of the budget, resources, and capabilities of the Coast Guard as the co-Sector Risk Management Agency for the marine transportation system.
This bill, HB7625, is designed to enhance the cybersecurity of the Marine Transportation System (MTS). It specifically asks the Comptroller General of the United States to review and report on the budget, resources, and capabilities of the Coast Guard, which is responsible for ensuring the security of the MTS.
The bill would directly impact the Coast Guard and federal cybersecurity agencies by providing them with a comprehensive evaluation of their current resources and capabilities. This assessment could help guide future investments and policy changes aimed at improving the cybersecurity of the nation’s maritime infrastructure.
As of February 20, 2026, the bill has been introduced in the House and has been referred to several subcommittees for further consideration. The next steps include reviews and potential hearings by these subcommittees to determine how the recommendations from the Comptroller General’s report will be implemented.
