Companies and federal agencies could keep sharing cyber threat information under the same law through September 30, 2035. The bill also makes the extension count back to October 1, 2025, so the authority would not appear to have expired.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Latest action on S. 2983: Read the second time. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 182.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies and private companies that share cyber threat information. It gives them more time to keep using the same legal rules. It could also affect people whose data is handled during that sharing, because the bill keeps the existing system in place. It does not directly create new duties for everyday people.
Why this matters: Cyber attacks can hit public systems, companies, and services people use every day. This bill keeps the current sharing system in place so threat information can keep moving between companies and the federal government. Faster sharing could help spot and respond to attacks sooner. The bill does not say how well the current system works, and it does not add new safeguards or reforms.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
