HR 8880
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 bill requires the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study evaluating current federal cybersecurity initiatives, programs, resources, tools, and services available to help small business owners address cyber risks, threats, and vulnerabilities. The study must examine federal resources and programs related to planning for, mitigating, and recovering from cyberattacks and incidents of social engineering, scams, and fraud, including the development and implementation of cybersecurity measures, training, protocols, tools, and infrastructure. The GAO must identify gaps and make recommendations for improving the effectiveness, awareness, and coordination of federal cybersecurity assistance programs for small business concerns. The Comptroller General shall submit a report containing the study's findings and determinations to the House Committee on Small Business and the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. The bill authorizes no new appropriated funds for implementing these requirements.
