Andrew Garbarino, the New York Republican who chairs the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection, said at an event hosted by Axonius that those priorities include reauthorization of a <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cybersecurity-information-sharing-law-expiring-congress-renewal\/#:~:text=The%202015%20Cybersecurity%20Information%20Sharing%20Act%20provides%20safeguards%20for%20companies,state%20and%20federal%20disclosure%20laws.\">2015 cyber threat information sharing law<\/a> and renewal of <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/renew-but-improve-billion-dollar-cyber-grant-program-to-states-and-locals-house-witnesses-say\/\">a state and local grant program<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not thrilled with some of the stuff that happened,\u201d Garbarino said, including the firing of probationary employees at CISA. \u201cI think there\u2019s a way to be efficient, I think there\u2019s a way to find savings \u2026 in some places when trying to cut the fat, they cut the bone, and we need to fix that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said CISA should take on a broader role within the federal government on cyber, rather than having individual agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency having responsibilities. He wants to carve out a specific role for CISA under the expiring 2015 Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act \u2014 the subject of a planned subcommittee hearing next month \u2014 and keep CISA involved in administering the expiring $1 billion, four-year state and local grant program, perhaps with a longer 10-year reauthorization.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Despite the Trump administration cuts, Garbarino said he was encouraged by the nomination of <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/tag\/sean-plankey\/\">Sean Plankey<\/a> to lead CISA, a sign that the administration was taking the agency \u201cseriously.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>California Rep. Eric Swalwell, the top Democrat on Garbarino\u2019s panel, said at the same event that the personnel cuts at CISA and elsewhere were \u201cschizophrenic\u201d and contrary to the name of the Department of Government Efficiency that\u2019s been pushing federal firings and had them challenged in court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne day you\u2019re fired, next week you get an email that you\u2019re not fired, then you go back to work and you\u2019re told, \u2018Well, you can\u2019t come into the building, and so you\u2019re on leave, but you have paid leave, and we don\u2019t know if your health care still works,’\u201d he said. \u201cSo you have thousands of government employees right now who are not working. They\u2019re on paid leave, they\u2019re all looking for other jobs, and I can\u2019t think of anything less efficient than paying people not to work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As one of his priorities, Swalwell would like to <a href=\"https:\/\/insidecybersecurity.com\/daily-news\/rep-swalwell-introduces-bill-codify-joint-cyber-defense-collaborative-cisa-provide\">advance legislation<\/a> this year that codifies the CISA-housed <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/tag\/joint-cyber-defense-collaborative\/\">Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative<\/a> into law, plus establish a charter for the JCDC and other modifications. <\/p>\n<p>Garbarino also plans further oversight of the regulations CISA is writing in response to <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/tag\/circia\/\">a 2022 cyber incident reporting law<\/a>, which he and industry have criticized <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/hearing-cyber-regulations-harmonization\/\">as overly burdensome<\/a>. Garbarino said he wasn\u2019t sure yet if the Trump administration would start over on the regulations entirely or make changes in other ways.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The good news for CISA\u2019s future, Garbarino said, is that he and others have worked to educate fellow lawmakers about the agency\u2019s work on disinformation and misinformation. That work, which represents a small part of CISA\u2019s budget, has drawn fire from Republicans, prompting many of them to vote in 2023 in favor an amendment to <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/cisa-budget-cuts-catastrophic\/\">cut CISA\u2019s funding by 25%<\/a> \u2014 a cut that ultimately didn\u2019t happen. He said he didn\u2019t anticipate a repeat of that vote as a result.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is now the chair of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and he has pledged to fight the agency or even eliminate it. Swalwell said the goal is to make any legislation on CISA so popular that it neutralizes any potential opposition from Paul, but also to win him over \u2014 including by convincing people like a <a href=\"https:\/\/louisvilleky.gov\/government\/metro-council-district-11\/about-kevin-kramer\">Louisville city councilman<\/a> who <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.house.gov\/meetings\/HM\/HM08\/20250401\/117904\/HHRG-119-HM08-Wstate-KramerK-20250401.pdf\">testified in favor of the grant program this week<\/a> to make the case.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7.7216117216117\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/dont-cut-cisa-personnel-house-panel-leaders-say-as-they-plan-legislation-giving-the-agency-more-to-do-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-card__details\" readability=\"10.901098901099\">\n<h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
