The House of Representatives passed a bipartisan bill Monday meant to limit the requirement of minimum educational attainment for cybersecurity jobs in the federal government.
The bill, backed by Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Katie Porter, D-Calif, would clarify that minimum educational requirements for federal cybersecurity jobs can only be set if they are required by law to perform essential duties or if educational attainment “directly reflects the competencies necessary” to do the job.
