Assessments

Cornyn sponsored S.893, the Secure 5G and Beyond Act of 2020, which became Public Law 116-129 on March 23, 2020. The enacted law directly required a national strategy to secure 5G and next-generation wireless communications and included assistance to allies and strategic partners in securing systems, infrastructure, and software. Because Cornyn materially advanced and sponsored the enacted federal measure while serving in the same Senate term, the promise is fulfilled with same_term timing.
