Protecting America’s Cybersecurity Act

This bill requires the reinstatement of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) employees who were involuntarily removed between January 25 and March 1, 2025, with backpay. It also prohibits future involuntary removals or transfers of CISA staff without new congressional authorization, and bans federal funding for Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees working at CISA. The law directly affects CISA employees who were removed during the specified period and prevents DOGE personnel from being funded at CISA. It creates concrete staffing protections for CISA while blocking a specific external agency (DOGE) from staffing CISA roles.
