This bill establishes the Cybersecurity and AI Board of Investigations with subpoena authority, akin to the National Transportation Safety Board, to demand answers from companies and government agencies involved in major cybersecurity incidents and to deliver clear assessments of cyber threats and measures to prevent such threats.

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): The new Markey bill matches the NTSB-like investigation concept, but the announcement describes introduced legislation, not a created federal entity.

Booker made the promised same-term advocacy by calling to establish an NTSB-like entity for AI incidents. A later related Markey bill would establish a Cybersecurity and AI Board of Investigations, but the verified evidence only shows proposed legislation and does not show enactment or Booker material advancement of that bill. With no documented deadline expired and no verified created entity, the outcome remains unresolved rather than delivered or partial.
