CYBERSECURITY AND RESILIENCY FUND – Adds to existing law to establish the Cybersecurity and Resiliency Fund to address the state’s need for information technology and cybersecurity infrastructure.

H 421 establishes Idaho's Cybersecurity and Resiliency Fund in the state treasury to address the state's needs for information technology infrastructure and cybersecurity. The fund, financed through legislative appropriations or transfers, will be managed by the state treasurer (with interest reinvested) and used exclusively for upgrading IT systems, networks, and security technologies like firewalls, data encryption, and security training. The Office of Information Technology Services must create a 5-year plan for infrastructure upgrades, update it annually, and report spending to the budget office. The bill takes effect July 1, 2025.
