Bill Summary
Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Defense relating to "Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program".
AI Summary
This joint resolution disapproves the Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Program rule published in the Federal Register on October 15, 2024. The CMMC is a cybersecurity standard designed to protect sensitive defense information within the defense industrial base supply chain by requiring contractors to meet specific cybersecurity practices and maturity levels. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively nullify the rule, preventing it from being implemented or enforced. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act (Chapter 8 of Title 5, United States Code), which allows Congress to review and potentially overturn new federal regulations issued by government agencies within a specified timeframe. If passed, the rule would be deemed to have no legal force or effect, potentially impacting how defense contractors manage and demonstrate their cybersecurity capabilities.
