bill would
Require operators of critical infrastructure to report cyber attacks and ransom payments
Establish a program office to receive and analyze reports on cyber incidents
Create a pilot program to warn federal agencies and nonfederal entities that are vulnerable to ransomware
Impose intergovernmental and private-sector mandates by requiring the owners and operators of critical
infrastructure to file reports about cyber incidents and ransom payments and to retain relevant data. The bill
also would preempt state, local, and tribal public disclosure laws

Estimated budgetary effects would mainly stem from
 Implementing new cyber incident reporting processes
 Identifying information systems that have security vulnerabilities
 Collecting civil and criminal fines from entities that do not comply with disclosure requirements
Areas of significant uncertainty include
 Predicting the annual number of cyber incidents reported to the federal government
 Anticipating how often the federal government would impose fines and penalties
