Plain-language change summary

The amended bill includes a change to Section 2, specifically regarding cybersecurity reporting by the Administration. The revised text removes certain language and establishes that the Administration must submit an annual report to the appropriate congressional committees detailing any cyber threats, breaches, or attacks occurring over the previous two years, along with the actions taken in response. This adjustment clarifies the reporting requirements and ensures that the committees receive documented information on cybersecurity incidents relevant to the Administration's activities.
