Bill Summary

An act to add and repeal Section 11549.45 of the Government Code, relating to election infrastructure.

AI Summary

This bill would require the Office of Information Security in the Department of Technology, the Office of Emergency Services, and the California Military Department to establish a pilot program to conduct independent security assessments of election infrastructure that is accessible through an Internet connection in up to 5 counties that voluntarily choose to participate. The bill would require these agencies to transmit the results and recommendations for mitigating vulnerabilities to the county elections officials and the Secretary of State, and to prepare a report for the Legislature. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2023, and is intended to be funded by federal funds dedicated for election cybersecurity.
