Requires certain procedures and training for municipalities, counties, and school districts in response to cybersecurity incidents.
S 1176 requires New Jersey municipalities, counties, and school districts to establish cybersecurity incident response procedures and staff training. It mandates that these public entities report cybersecurity incidents to the state Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness within 72 hours of discovery. The bill also directs the office to create a secure reporting system and post clear submission instructions online within 90 days of the law's effective date. These measures aim to improve coordinated response to cyber threats across local government and school systems.
