Require political subdivisions to adopt a cybersecurity program
SB 203 requires local governments (like cities, counties, and school districts) to adopt formal cybersecurity programs to protect their digital systems. The bill mandates these "political subdivisions" to create and maintain written plans addressing risks, such as securing data and preventing cyberattacks. Key provisions include establishing policies for incident response, employee training, and regular security assessments. This directly affects all local government entities by imposing specific, concrete requirements for safeguarding public information systems.
