The bill defined appropriate Federal entities to include the Department of the Treasury and required procedures and reporting for cyber threat indicators and defensive measures shared with the federal government.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The text included Treasury in the group of federal entities involved in cyber-threat information sharing and reporting. This partially overlaps with the promise, but the text reviewed does not establish a Treasury study/report specifically on financial institutions and capital markets.

Public Law 114-113 includes Division N, the Cybersecurity Act of 2015. Its table of contents includes Title I, Cybersecurity Information Sharing, and a Report on cybersecurity threats.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The enacted law contained cyber-threat reporting provisions, confirming that Rounds's final vote helped enact broader cybersecurity reporting law. It does not, in the reviewed text, match the narrower Treasury financial-institutions-and-capital-markets study requirement.

Section 107 required heads of appropriate Federal entities to jointly submit to Congress a detailed report on implementation, and required inspectors general to submit biennial interagency reports on executive branch actions under the title.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is the closest enacted reporting requirement found: cyber-threat implementation and compliance reports involving appropriate federal entities, including Treasury under the incorporated framework. It remains broader than the specific promise about Treasury studying and reporting on threats to financial institutions and capital markets.

Assessments

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): partial. same_term A for effort

Rounds supported and voted for 2015 cybersecurity legislation that passed in his Senate term and included federal cyber-threat information-sharing and reporting provisions involving Treasury as one of the appropriate federal entities. However, the evidence does not show enactment of the narrower promised outcome: legislation specifically requiring the Treasury Department to study and report on cyber threats to financial institutions and capital markets. This merits partial credit for materially related enacted cyber reporting legislation, not full delivery.
