Plain-language change summary

The amendment to Bill HB 2809 added language clarifying that state agencies are not required to connect any systems to the internet or to enable them to receive internet information. Additionally, the Auditor General is designated to manage and audit the encryption keys for a new statewide cybersecurity system, ensuring that all state agencies comply with security measures. These changes are important because they safeguard the cybersecurity infrastructure while also setting clear boundaries on connectivity requirements, ultimately enhancing the state’s protection against potential cyber threats.
