Federal SB5502 aims to protect biotechnology and biomanufacturing infrastructure by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

Federal SB5502 amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to enhance the protection of biotechnology and biomanufacturing infrastructure. The bill tasks the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) within the Department of Homeland Security with creating a work plan to safeguard these critical sectors. This includes identifying stakeholders, developing outreach plans, and ensuring stakeholder representation in relevant councils. The Director of CISA must also submit a report to Congress on the implementation of the work plan and on any unprotected critical biotechnology areas.
