A bill to amend the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act to reauthorize the Rural and Municipal Utility Advanced Cybersecurity Grant and Technical Assistance Program, and for other purposes.
Latest action (7 Aug 2026): Introduced
What this bill does
S. 5360 would reauthorize the Rural and Municipal Utility Advanced Cybersecurity Grant and Technical Assistance Program by amending the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the law that originally established the program. The bill's full text has not yet been published, so the specific changes it would make — such as funding levels, program duration, or eligibility rules — are not yet known.
The program provides cybersecurity grants and technical assistance to rural and municipal electric utilities, so this bill would primarily affect those utilities and the federal agencies that administer the program. Because the text isn't available, it isn't yet possible to say how existing program terms would change or which utilities would be newly affected.
The bill was introduced in the Senate on August 7, 2026, by Sen. Dave McCormick (R-PA). It is currently at the earliest stage of the legislative process, having just been introduced, with no further action recorded yet. Typically, a bill at this stage would next be referred to a Senate committee for review before any vote could occur; whether or when that will happen for this bill is not yet known.
