Summary of Bill HR 2109

Bill 119 HR 2109, also known as the "Cybersecurity Technical Assistance in National Rural Water and Wastewater Circuit Rider Program Act," aims to enhance cybersecurity measures in rural water and wastewater systems across the United States. The bill proposes to include cybersecurity technical assistance as part of the services provided by the Department of Agriculture's National Rural Water and Wastewater Circuit Rider Program.

Overall, Bill 119 HR 2109 aims to strengthen the cybersecurity of rural water and wastewater systems by providing technical assistance through the National Rural Water and Wastewater Circuit Rider Program.
