An act relating to requiring municipalities to provide notice of a cybersecurity breach

This bill requires town clerks in Vermont to notify the state's Agency of Digital Services within 24 hours if a cybersecurity breach disrupts municipal services. The law applies to all municipalities and mandates reporting of both the breach itself and any resulting service interruptions. The notification must occur within one day of the incident, ensuring timely communication between local governments and state officials. This measure takes effect on July 1, 2023, and aims to improve coordination during cybersecurity incidents at the municipal level.
