CISA budget bill would require agency to maintain 'sufficient' staffing levels
"CISA shall maintain a workforce consistent with the personnel and FTE funded by the pay and non-pay amounts provided in this Act. CISA shall not reduce staffing in such a way that it lacks sufficient staff to effectively carry out its statutory missions, including cybersecurity and infrastructure security for the Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies, [state, local, tribal and territorial] partners, Sector Risk Management Agencies, international partners, and other stakeholders,"
"In total, the DHS funding bill would provide $2.6 billion for CISA, down from the approximately $3 billion the agency had when President Donald Trump retook the White House. Notably, the funding measure earmarks $39.6 million for continuing election security efforts, including funding for election security advisers in each CISA region and the Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis"
The minibus funding package directs CISA to maintain staffing levels funded by the Act and to avoid reductions that would impede statutory missions. CISA must sustain capabilities for cybersecurity and infrastructure security across federal agencies, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners, Sector Risk Management Agencies, international partners, and other stakeholders. CISA must keep at least 10 regional field offices and have at least one Cyber Security Advisor per state or territory dedicated to that jurisdiction. The DHS bill provides $2.6 billion for CISA and earmarks $39.6 million for continuing election security efforts, including regional advisers and Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis.
