The bill directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, to establish a joint interagency task force within 120 days of enactment to coordinate detection of and response to cyber threats to U.S. critical infrastructure from Chinese state-sponsored actors, naming Volt Typhoon specifically. The FBI Director serves as vice chairperson under the CISA Director as chair, and the task force draws subject-matter experts from the Sector Risk Management Agencies. The task force must deliver an initial report within 540 days and annual reports for five years, each assessing sector-specific risks, resource and authority gaps, and classified estimates of potential damage to infrastructure, military mobility, and the economy in a crisis or conflict with China. Reports are classified with an unclassified executive summary posted publicly, and a classified briefing follows each report within 30 days. The task force is exempt from the Federal Advisory Committee Act and the Paperwork Reduction Act, and it terminates 60 days after its final briefing.
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.
No organization named this measure in a lobbying filing we could read with confidence. That is not a finding that nobody lobbied it. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, and a reference that could not be pinned to exactly one measure is refused rather than guessed.
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.
