Summary of Bill S 3594

The SHARE IT Act, also known as Bill 118 s 3594, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to promote the sharing of information and resources between federal agencies in order to improve cybersecurity and protect against cyber threats.
