Plain-English Summary

This bill would require oil and gas pipeline companies to strengthen their defenses against cyberattacks by implementing security standards, reporting breaches to federal authorities, and conducting regular security assessments. The goal is to protect critical energy infrastructure from hackers who could disrupt fuel supplies or cause safety hazards for communities near pipelines. Pipeline operators would need to invest in better technology and training to meet these new security requirements.
