The House on June 29 passed by voice vote H.R. 7266, the Rural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act.
This bill would reauthorize the RMUC program through 2030 and authorize $250 million in appropriations.
“APPA is thrilled to report that House of Representatives passed today H.R. 7266, the Rural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act,” it said in a statement.
“The RMUC grant program represents once-in-a-generation opportunity to improve the cybersecurity of under-resources, not-for-profit utilities. Thank you to its sponsors, Rep. Mariannette Miller Meeks (R-IA) and Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-VA) for their leadership,” APPA said.
