RESILIENCE Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill creates a one-year test program to train local, state, and tribal leaders on how to spot security weaknesses. Experts from the federal cybersecurity agency would teach these leaders how to protect important facilities like power plants and water systems from terrorism or other attacks.
• It sets up online resource centers for people who own or run critical buildings and services. These centers would provide easy-to-read guides and best practices to help businesses and nonprofit groups stay safe, especially those that the government thinks are at high risk of being targeted.
• The government would have to report every year on how well they are reaching out to different communities. This includes making sure that rural, suburban, and urban areas all get the same help and information to keep their local infrastructure secure.
• The new rules require all security guides to be written in plain language so they are easy for everyone to understand. They also must be accessible to people with disabilities, ensuring that safety information is available to all facility owners regardless of their needs.
