A bill to prohibit the availability of funds to modify authorities of the Commander of United States Cyber Command, and for other purposes.
The bill would bar the Department of Defense from using funds in fiscal year 2026 to modify any authorities, responsibilities, or the command structure of the Commander of United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) relative to what was in effect on June 1, 2025. In short, it seeks to lock in the status quo for USCYBERCOM’s leadership and governance for FY2026, prohibiting any changes to how the Commander’s role is defined or organized through appropriations. This is a fiscal safeguard: if Congress or the executive branch wants to alter USCYBERCOM’s authority or its command structure after June 1, 2025, such changes would require different legislative action or authorization, since the bill prohibits using FY2026 DoD funds for modifications to those authorities.
