Latest action on H.R. 5868: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects community water systems and their staff. It could also matter to communities served by smaller water utilities that may lack the resources for cybersecurity training.

Why this matters: Water systems depend on computers and networks to control pumps, treatment, and distribution. A cyberattack could disrupt water service or affect water safety. This bill tries to help local water utilities prepare for and handle cyber threats through training, which many smaller systems cannot afford on their own.

Key provisions in H.R. 5868

  • Expands what existing Safe Drinking Water Act grants can pay for to include cybersecurity training.
  • Lets grant money cover participation in training programs and the purchase of training manuals and guidance materials.
  • The eligible training must focus on both protecting community water systems from cyberattacks and responding to cyberattacks.
  • Extends the risk and resilience assistance program's authorized years to 2026 through 2031.
  • Keeps the existing program framework under the Safe Drinking Water Act in place — only changes which activities qualify and the covered years.
