AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Government Accountability Office (GAO), led by the Comptroller General, to review the Coast Guard's funding and resource needs for its role in managing risks, including cyber threats, to the marine transportation system. The review must be done within 270 days of the bill becoming law. It would look at funding for cybersecurity staff, training, and enforcement, at whether Coast Guard personnel can check if regulated entities follow cybersecurity rules, and at the guidance given to industry on following cyber regulations. GAO would send its findings and recommendations to specific committees in the House and Senate.
