HB 1007 enhances the cybersecurity of Texas election systems by requiring the Secretary of State to appoint a cybersecurity expert to oversee data security, conduct biennial assessments, and implement best practices. It mandates training for election officials and contractors and immediate notifications and investigations of data breaches. The bill prohibits internet connectivity for election systems, except through isolated local area networks, and enforces stringent chain-of-custody requirements for election equipment.
