Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1687, Small Business Cyber Training Act of 2022   [open pdf - 155KB]

From the Document: "S. 1687 would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to establish a certification program for employees of small business development centers (SBDCs) to assist small businesses on cyber security planning. The bill would authorize the SBA to spend up to $350,000 each year to reimburse SBDCs for certification costs. On that basis, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 1687 would cost $2 million over the 2022-2027 period to fund certification programs at 62 lead SBDCs. Any spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds."
