The bill amends Section 716.11 of the Iowa Code to expand the definition of critical infrastructure related to telecommunications. Specifically, it replaces the term "or" with "information service," and adds new categories including "cable service," "wireless service," and "broadband generation, transmission, or delivery system" as defined in relevant federal and state laws.
These changes aim to enhance the legal framework surrounding critical infrastructure sabotage by ensuring that a broader range of telecommunications services are protected under the law. The bill reflects a growing recognition of the importance of various telecommunications services in maintaining public safety and security.
