Bill > HB633

This bill requires the development of mandatory cybersecurity awareness training for all state and local government employees, officials, and contractors with access to the agency's information technology assets. The Department of State Civil Service is responsible for instituting, developing, and providing the training, which can be offered online. Agencies must identify employees and officials who need the training and ensure they complete it, with the agency head verifying and reporting completion to the Department. Contractors with access to government IT assets must also complete the training, which must be included in their contract terms. The bill aims to improve cybersecurity practices and protect government information systems from cyber threats.
