The bill H.560 proposes amendments to the Cybersecurity Advisory Council in Vermont, specifically by expanding its membership to include additional legislative representatives and a member from the Judiciary. The current composition of the Council will now include the Chair of the House Committee on Energy and Digital Infrastructure, the Chair of the Senate Committee on Institutions, and a representative from the Judiciary appointed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This change aims to enhance the Council's ability to advise on the state's cybersecurity infrastructure and best practices by incorporating diverse perspectives from the legislative and judicial branches.

Additionally, the bill specifies that it will take effect on July 1, 2026. The amendments reflect a commitment to strengthening Vermont's cybersecurity framework by ensuring that key stakeholders from various sectors are represented in the advisory process.
