Hey y'all, I was reading about this new bill and I was wondering how it might impact us here in UT. Seems like it's all about cybersecurity and coordination, which is important stuff. Did you know that this bill also includes provisions for increased information sharing between government agencies and private sector entities? Pretty interesting stuff!
