What's in it

See official bill text

Costs $14 million over 2026-2031 for Department of Commerce to create and manage a satellite cybersecurity information database.

The $14 million is the federal cost to administer the cybersecurity information-sharing program — the policy's actual impact is on satellite operators who must review and implement the safety measures recommended through the database.
