CYBERSECURITY AND RESILIENCY FUND – Adds to existing law to establish a cybersecurity and resiliency fund to address the state’s need for information technology and cybersecurity infrastructure.

H 168 establishes a dedicated cybersecurity and resiliency fund in Idaho's state treasury to address the state's needs for information technology infrastructure and cybersecurity technology. The fund, which will be financed through existing legislative appropriations, requires the Office of Information Technology Services to create and annually update a five-year plan for replacing IT systems and enhancing cybersecurity. It specifically covers network security, data protection, endpoint security, and related technologies to reduce vulnerabilities in state systems. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025, and applies directly to state agencies managing IT infrastructure.
