Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Introduced March 3, 2025 by Jay Obernolte · Last progress July 15, 2025
Creates a new Office of Policy Development and Cybersecurity inside the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) led by an Associate Administrator. The office will analyze telecom and internet policy, develop cybersecurity and privacy guidance, promote innovation and competition, engage with security researchers and providers, and coordinate across government and industry.
It also renames an existing NTIA associate administrator role to lead this office and sets transition rules so the current officeholder continues without disruption. No taxes or spending levels are set, and it does not create new regulatory mandates on companies.
