Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
No foreign adversary tech in critical systems
Beginning July 1, 2026, government agencies and critical‑infrastructure providers cannot buy, renew, or put into service tech on the Utah Cyber Center’s prohibited list. The Center must publish and keep this list, which at least includes items on the Pentagon 1260H List, the FCC Covered List, and relabeled or subsidiary versions when a reasonable alternative exists. An agency may use a listed item only when no reasonable alternative meets the specific need, with any recommended safeguards.
Guidance and assessments for critical systems
The Utah Cyber Center, within available resources and coordinating with federal agencies, creates and updates yearly guidance to protect critical infrastructure from foreign cyber threats. It covers best practices, risk checks, limits on foreign access, transition advice, and manual backup plans, and posts the guidance online. Operators of critical infrastructure can ask the Center for security assessments when they consider or find foreign‑adversary technology. The Center prioritizes requests and can give vulnerability checks, risk and impact reports, mitigation steps, and lower‑risk alternatives. Assessments and recommendations are advisory, so agencies make final buying and transition choices unless another prohibition applies.
No foreign control of critical infrastructure
Starting May 6, 2026, companies and government entities that build, repair, maintain, operate, or have major access to Utah critical infrastructure cannot sign contracts with a foreign principal from a foreign adversary if the deal allows direct or remote access or control. A narrow exception applies only when no reasonable alternative exists to meet that specific need.
Risk alerts and breach reporting for agencies
Beginning May 6, 2026, if the Cyber Center finds a serious risk from foreign‑adversary tech in critical infrastructure, it notifies the chief information officer and affected agencies. It can recommend stronger monitoring, added controls, transition plans, or referral to law enforcement. When an agency that runs critical infrastructure reports a data breach to the Cyber Center, it must state whether foreign‑adversary technology, software, or services were involved.
