The Cyber PIVOTT Act of 2025 establishes a program within CISA to provide education, training, and scholarships to students in cyber-related fields, requiring a service obligation in a government role. The program aims to address the cyber workforce shortage by partnering with educational institutions, offering skills-based exercises and internships, and providing resources for federal job opportunities. It also includes provisions for certification programs, additional scholarship opportunities for federal employees, and outlines the terms and repayment obligations for scholarship recipients. The act sets ambitious enrollment targets, aiming to significantly increase the number of students participating in the program over the next decade.

The Cyber Conspiracy Modernization Act amends Section 1030(c) of title 18, United States Code, to include conspiracies to violate computer fraud and abuse laws. This update extends the penalties for attempting to violate these laws to also cover conspiracies to violate them.

The TAILOR Act of 2025 aims to tailor financial regulations to the risk profile and business models of financial institutions, reducing the regulatory burden on lower-risk institutions. It requires agencies to consider the impact of regulations, disclose their decision-making process, and report to Congress annually. The act also mandates simpler reporting rules for community banks and a report on modernizing bank supervision.
