Federal Acquisition Security Council Improvement Act of 2024

Bill 118 s 5310, also known as the Federal Acquisition Security Council Act, aims to amend title 41 of the United States Code in order to make changes to the Federal Acquisition Security Council (FASC). The FASC is a government entity responsible for overseeing the security of federal acquisitions, particularly in relation to information technology products and services.

The bill proposes several key changes to the FASC, including expanding its membership to include representatives from additional federal agencies and departments. This expansion is intended to enhance the council's ability to address security concerns related to federal acquisitions.

Additionally, the bill seeks to strengthen the FASC's authority by granting it the power to issue directives to federal agencies regarding the security of their acquisitions. This increased authority is designed to ensure that federal agencies are taking necessary steps to protect sensitive information and systems from potential security threats. Overall, the goal of Bill 118 s 5310 is to improve the security of federal acquisitions by enhancing the capabilities and authority of the Federal Acquisition Security Council. By making these changes, the bill aims to better protect government information and systems from cyber threats and other security risks.
