What it does
The bill expands what State energy security plans must cover under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act.
The bill expands what State energy security plans must cover under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. It requires those plans to address the physical security, cybersecurity, and resilience of local distribution systems, which it defines as utility energy infrastructure operating at 100 kilovolts or less. The required hazards now include physical attacks on local distribution and bulk-power systems, supply chain risks for electricity equipment, and cyber threats that may reach the bulk-power system. It changes a provision on Federal assistance for these plans in subsection (f) from "may" to "shall". Section 366 is set to expire on September 30, 2031, and the bill directs the Comptroller General to report to Congress by September 30, 2030 on how well State energy security plans work.
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 15 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 46 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm and by 14 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
2 of those filings did not cite this bill by number. They named a short title it shares with its Senate companion, S 4166, so the reference belongs to the pair rather than to one chamber’s vehicle.
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.
5 of them, in no ranking: Centerpoint Energy; Portland General Electric; CMS Energy Corp; Pinnacle West Capital Corporation; Ppl Corporation. Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 10 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
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.
