Bill > SB01319

This bill establishes a comprehensive Cybersecurity Task Force in Connecticut to develop a strategic plan addressing various cybersecurity challenges. The task force will consist of 13 members appointed by different legislative leaders and state officials, including representatives from the financial, defense, public utility, and health care industries, as well as law enforcement and municipal government. The task force's strategic plan will focus on key areas such as establishing oversight and coordination of cybersecurity among state agencies, identifying critical IT infrastructure needs, maximizing coordination with municipalities and federal agencies, facilitating information sharing, coordinating with other states, collaborating with the private sector, and promoting personal computer and mobile device security. The task force is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the legislature by January 1, 2027, and will terminate after submitting the report or on that date. Notably, the bill extends previous deadlines, with appointments to be made by September 1, 2025, and the first meeting to be held by November 1, 2025, allowing more time for comprehensive planning and collaboration on cybersecurity initiatives.
