Bill > SB00305

This bill establishes a task force specifically designed to comprehensively assess and evaluate the current security measures protecting electricity transmission infrastructure. The task force will have two primary objectives: first, to review and analyze the existing security protocols of electric distribution companies and electricity suppliers, evaluating their effectiveness and potential vulnerabilities; and second, to explore and recommend additional protective methods against potentially catastrophic events such as electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attacks, solar flares, and terrorist activities. By creating this task force, the legislation aims to proactively identify potential weaknesses in the electrical grid's security and develop strategies to enhance its resilience against a range of threats, from deliberate human-caused incidents to unpredictable natural phenomena. The goal is to ensure the stability and continuity of electricity infrastructure, which is critical for public safety, economic function, and national security.
