HR 7257
Passed House Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

The SECURE Grid Act extends state energy security plan requirements through fiscal year 2031 and expands the scope of security considerations states must address, including weather-related threats, supply chain risks, and security of local distribution systems. The act requires states to include both utility operators of local distribution systems and equipment suppliers in their energy security planning. The Department of Energy must provide technical assistance to states developing or updating plans, and the Government Accountability Office must evaluate the effectiveness of state energy security plans and report findings to Congress.
