Guaranteeing Universal Access to Cybersecurity Act

This bill would require the director of the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to enter into a cooperative agreement with the operator of the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center to fund cybersecurity services, threat intelligence sharing, and technical help for state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments. Under the agreement, the center would have to offer free membership and core services to any SLTT entity that applies, and give priority outreach to those with limited budgets or no dedicated cybersecurity staff. Within 60 days, the agency and the center would have to create a plan to bring back former members who left under the fee-based model, keep current members, and recruit new ones. The bill would set aside $50 million per year starting in fiscal year 2027, and requires annual reports and a one-year implementation report to Congress.
