This bill proposes to create a pilot program aimed at training government officials from state, local, tribal, and territorial levels. The training would focus on conducting security vulnerability and terrorism risk assessments for critical infrastructure facilities. This initiative would be led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. The bill seeks to enhance the ability of these officials to protect essential services and infrastructure.

The people affected by this bill would primarily be state, local, tribal, and territorial government officials who are responsible for the security of critical infrastructure. By receiving specialized training, they would be better equipped to identify and mitigate potential security threats. This could lead to improved safety and resilience in critical sectors such as energy, water, and transportation.

As of the last status update on July 21, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security. This means it is currently under review by the committee, which will determine the next steps for the bill.
