Who this affects: This bill mainly affects NTIA and the people or companies that build, run, or secure internet and communications networks. It also affects cybersecurity experts, network operators, equipment makers, software makers, and internet app companies that may serve on the board or respond to its advice. The public would not see direct new rules from this bill, but future policies shaped by the board could affect the safety and reliability of online services.

The board could help shape future ideas on safer routing, stronger supply chains, and better recovery after cyber incidents. But the board would only advise. The bill does not require NTIA, companies, or other agencies to carry out its recommendations.
