NTIA Reauthorization Act of 2024

The NTIA Reauthorization Act of 2024 reauthorizes and modernizes the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) within the Department of Commerce. The bill creates new offices focused on spectrum management, internet connectivity, cybersecurity, public safety communications, and international affairs, and updates the agency's structure by changing "Assistant Secretary" to "Under Secretary" throughout federal law. It requires the NTIA to develop a National Strategy to Close the Digital Divide, improve spectrum coordination, and conduct cybersecurity literacy campaigns. The legislation also establishes advisory groups to provide input on cybersecurity policies, digital economy issues, and spectrum management. These changes aim to strengthen the NTIA's role in shaping U.S. telecommunications policy and addressing modern communications challenges.
