State Cyber Resiliency Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

- enhancement of the response and resiliency of computer networks, industrial control systems, and communications systems against cybersecurity threats or vulnerabilities;
- implementation of continuous vulnerability assessments and threat mitigation practices;
- adoption of cybersecurity best practices by entities performing cybersecurity functions within a state; and
- confirmation that continuity of communications and data networks would be maintained in the event of a catastrophic disruption of such communications or networks.
