HR 9769

Sponsored by Laurel M. Lee (R)

Strengthening Cyber Resilience Against State-Sponsored Threats Act

Would have created a federal task force to counter Chinese state-sponsored hackers, including Volt Typhoon.

Tradeoff

Would have set up a federal task force to coordinate responses to Chinese government hackers. It would have required reports to Congress for six years, mostly in classified form.

What's in it

See official bill text

CBO estimates no effect on direct spending or revenues, and the abstract gives no dollar figure for the bill's cost.

The bill mainly creates a federal interagency task force and an annual reporting duty, and the abstract gives no dollar cost for either, so the figure that matters, spending, is unknown.
