The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 (CISA 2015) has not been permanently reauthorized since its expiration at the end of fiscal 2025. Bipartisan support exists for a long-term extension, but Senate Homeland Security Chairman Rand Paul is blocking progress. Paul has proposed an amendment to protect free speech that he claims is necessary for his support. Ranking member Sen. Gary Peters has accused Paul of being the main obstacle to reauthorization. Peters has introduced two bipartisan bills to extend CISA 2015 through fiscal 2035, one of which includes retroactive liability protections. The program has only been temporarily renewed through continuing resolutions, making it vulnerable to lapses. The situation remains unresolved as both parties seek a compromise that addresses concerns related to artificial intelligence's impact on cybersecurity.
