Senate Bill No. 1319 establishes a Cybersecurity Task Force aimed at developing a strategic plan to enhance cybersecurity across state agencies, municipalities, and other political subdivisions. The task force will focus on various aspects, including oversight coordination, critical infrastructure needs, information sharing, and collaboration with federal agencies and the private sector. The bill introduces new provisions to maximize state coordination with municipalities and emphasizes the importance of public awareness regarding cybersecurity issues.

The composition of the task force includes members appointed by legislative leaders, municipal representatives, and state commissioners, with specific expertise in cybersecurity. Key changes in the bill include the extension of deadlines for appointments and the first meeting to September 1, 2025, and November 1, 2025, respectively, as well as the submission of the task force's report by January 1, 2027. The bill also clarifies that the task force will terminate upon submitting its report or on January 1, 2027, whichever is later. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the state's cybersecurity framework without imposing any fiscal impact on state or municipal budgets.
