Tony Wied introduced H.R. 10238 in the 119th Congress to require SBA, in consultation with CISA, to disseminate cybersecurity information and resources to small businesses. That closely matches the promise and qualifies as a serious legislative effort. However, the bill record shows only introduction and referral to the House Small Business Committee, with no passage, enactment, or SBA implementation of the requirement. The promised outcome has therefore not been delivered.
