## Summary

**This bill would establish a _permanent security vulnerability warning program_ at CISA focused on information-system vulnerabilities for critical utilities, especially water and wastewater systems.** - It defines "covered utility" to include water or wastewater utilities serving not more than 100,000 people, eligible entities under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act section 40124, and operators of public water systems or treatment works under the Safe Drinking Water Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. - The program expands information sharing and adds explicit exemptions from FOIA and state open-records laws, limits disclosures to purposes under the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015, and requires protections for identifiable personal data. - Each covered utility would be automatically enrolled in applicable CISA cyber hygiene services with an option to disenroll. CISA would be required to provide incident-response assistance to covered utilities and coordinate the program with the Environmental Protection Agency, and the program would sunset after five years unless renewed.
