What this bill would do
The RESILIENCE Act of 2026 aims to create a pilot program to train government officials. This training focuses on carrying out security vulnerability or terrorism risk assessments for critical infrastructure facilities. The program involves the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency training State, local, Tribal, and territorial officials. Additionally, the bill authorizes the establishment of critical infrastructure clearinghouses. These clearinghouses would provide security guidance and best practices to owners, operators, and relevant stakeholders.
