S 4630 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Streamlining Federal Cybersecurity Regulations Act

This bill establishes a Harmonization Committee led by the National Cyber Director to align cybersecurity requirements across federal regulatory agencies. It requires the committee to develop a framework within one year that identifies inconsistent or overlapping rules and creates reciprocal compliance mechanisms for entities regulated by multiple agencies (like banks or utilities subject to financial and energy regulations). The framework will be published in the Federal Register, and agencies must consult it before issuing new cybersecurity rules. The bill includes a voluntary pilot program testing the framework with three agencies and their regulated entities, while explicitly stating it does not expand agencies' existing regulatory authority.
