THE BRIEF ALEX IS WORKING FROM

The Bill could create new resilience and security obligations for systems supporting essential activities, with potential compliance implications for our infrastructure operations. Recommended actions: 1. Ask Legal and Operations to confirm whether Northstar activities may fall within scope. 2. Review the Bill and upcoming committee amendments for duties affecting our infrastructure and essential services.
