This bill establishes an interagency task force to address cyber threats from Chinese state-sponsored actors, particularly a group called Volt Typhoon, targeting U.S. critical infrastructure. The task force, led by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency director and including representatives from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and other relevant agencies, must be formed within 120 days and will coordinate government responses to detect, analyze, and counter these threats. The task force is required to submit an initial comprehensive report within 540 days and annual reports for five years thereafter to Congress, with findings covering sector-specific risks, resource needs, potential threats to critical infrastructure during conflict, and recommendations for improving defenses, with unclassified summaries to be made public. The task force will terminate 60 days after submitting its final briefing to Congress, and the reporting requirements span approximately six years from the task force's establishment.
