Bill > AB2281

This bill expands the responsibilities of the Office of Elections Cybersecurity, which is part of the Secretary of State's office and works to protect elections from cyber threats and misinformation. Specifically, the bill allows the office to consult with academic researchers, in addition to government agencies and private organizations, when developing best practices for election cybersecurity. It also requires the office to evaluate if the state needs to provide more resources for election cybersecurity to compensate for any federal funding that has been reduced or eliminated. The bill aims to strengthen the state's defenses against cyber incidents and the spread of false information that could disrupt elections.
