Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
This bill establishes a Digital Economy and Cybersecurity Board of Advisors within the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to provide recommendations on cybersecurity best practices and policies. The board will advise on securing computer networks and the internet while promoting economic growth and innovation, with particular focus on protecting critical infrastructure like the Border Gateway Protocol that routes internet traffic. The board will consist of five to twenty-five members appointed by the Assistant Secretary, drawn from cybersecurity experts, network operators, equipment and software vendors, and other relevant sectors, with a requirement for balanced representation and a prohibition on registered lobbyists serving as members. Board members will serve two-year terms without compensation and can be removed at the Assistant Secretary's discretion. The board is set to automatically terminate four years after the legislation is enacted, with no specific funding amount designated in the bill itself.
