Modernizing the Acquisition of Cybersecurity Experts Act of 2023
Sponsor: Nancy Mace (R-SC)
Modernizing the Acquisition of Cybersecurity Experts Act of 2023 This bill modifies educational requirements for cybersecurity positions in the federal government. Specifically, the bill prohibits federal agencies from establishing minimum educational requirements for cybersecurity positions unless such requirements are mandated by law for the position in the state or locality in which the work is to be performed. Agencies may also only consider an applicant's education in conjunction with other minimum qualifications for a position if the applicant's education directly reflects the required competencies for the position.
