This bill aims to enhance the security of small rural water systems by integrating cybersecurity technical assistance into an existing Department of Agriculture program. It specifically amends the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to require the national rural water and wastewater circuit rider program to offer cybersecurity support. This new assistance is targeted at rural water systems serving fewer than 10,000 persons , helping them to assess their vulnerability to cyber threats and implement robust cybersecurity plans, procedures, and technologies . The legislation also extends the program's authorization and funding, allocating $32,500,000 annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2030 . Of this amount, $7,500,000 each year is specifically earmarked for providing cybersecurity technical assistance to these vital rural utilities.
