Congressional appropriators move to extend information-sharing law, fund CISA

Congressional appropriators advanced a “minibus” funding package that extends the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act through Sept. 30 and continues the State and Local Cybersecurity Grants Program, while allocating $2.6 billion to CISA with directives to maintain adequate staffing. The bill includes $39.6 million for election security initiatives and extends the Technology Modernization Fund, despite broader political hurdles to passage.
