Likely to pass

Since the bill already passed the Senate with no apparent opposition, it has a strong chance of moving through the House and being signed.

Key Points

  • This bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to share a specific report with the public. The report is called U.S. Telecommunications Insecurity 2022 and it was originally written for the government's cybersecurity agency.
  • The goal is to make information about the safety of our phone and internet networks more transparent. By releasing the full unclassified report, people can see what experts found regarding risks to the country's communication systems.
  • If this becomes law, the Secretary of Homeland Security would have 30 days to put the report online for everyone to read. This would help tech companies and the public understand potential weaknesses in the networks we use every day.
