Cybersecurity for Rural Water Systems Act of 2023
This bill amends the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Circuit Rider Program to include cybersecurity technical assistance for rural water systems serving fewer than 10,000 people.

The bill also reauthorizes the Circuit Rider Program through FY2028.
