HR 7305
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 Energy Threat Analysis Center Act of 2026 reauthorizes and expands the Department of Energy's Energy Sector Operational Support for Cyberresilience Program through 2031. The act authorizes the Secretary of Energy to establish an Energy Threat Analysis Center to strengthen collective defense and resilience of U.S. energy infrastructure through information sharing and threat analysis at classified and unclassified levels. The legislation grants the Secretary expedited contracting authority and exempts the program from Federal Advisory Committee Act requirements and certain Freedom of Information Act disclosure rules. The act aims to advance understanding of national security vulnerabilities in the energy sector and enhance the energy sector's awareness of threat actor tactics and capabilities.
