This bill orders one government report. It directs the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Communications and Information to submit a report to Congress within one year examining the cybersecurity of mobile service networks and their vulnerability to cyberattacks and surveillance by adversaries. The report must assess whether mobile carriers have fixed known vulnerabilities, gauge how much customers weigh cybersecurity when buying service, and estimate the prevalence and effectiveness of the encryption and authentication in use. It must also estimate the cost, availability, and use by adversaries in the United States of cell-site simulators, the interception devices known as IMSI catchers. The report excludes 5G protocols and networks. It must be unclassified but may carry a classified annex, and the Assistant Secretary must redact exploitable information from the public version while giving Congress an unredacted copy. The bill creates no new regulation, funding, or enforcement authority.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 3 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 15 quarterly reports filed by 3 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: Competitive Carriers Association; Pacific Gas and Electric Company; Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
