# Congress Weighs 10-Year Cyber Sharing Law Renewal

A coalition of 35 business associations is urging Congress to extend the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 through 2035 in the FY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act. The House version includes the extension and provisions described as updating federal cyber-sharing procedures and expanding eligible information sharing to AI, while the Senate version omits an extension. The law’s current authority expires December 11, 2026; lawmakers are expected to resume negotiations after returning November 9, leaving cybersecurity contractors and critical-infrastructure operators with a near-term policy decision that could affect threat-information sharing and related liability protections.

- Contractors supporting federal cybersecurity and incident response should assess how their information-sharing operations rely on the law’s protections and plan for the possibility that the current authority expires without renewal.
- The House proposal would extend the framework for 10 years and address AI-related information sharing; companies serving critical infrastructure may find this relevant to their threat-data sharing and incident-response services.
- House-Senate negotiations are expected to resume November 9, four days from the current date. The current extension expires **December 11, 2026**.
