Bill > S3251

This bill reauthorizes the State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program for fiscal year 2026, making several key modifications to the existing Homeland Security Act of 2002. Specifically, the bill increases the federal cost-sharing percentage for cybersecurity grants, with the federal government covering 60% of costs for fiscal year 2026 (up from previous years), and allows state and local governments to receive up to 70% federal funding under certain conditions. The bill also authorizes $300 million in appropriations for cybersecurity grants in fiscal year 2026 and extends the program's termination date from September 30, 2025, to September 30, 2026. These changes are designed to continue supporting state and local governments in improving their cybersecurity infrastructure and resilience, providing additional financial assistance and resources to help protect critical digital systems and networks from potential cyber threats.
