Review - HR 1000 Introduced – PIVOTT Act

Last month, Rep Green (R,TN) introduced HR 1000, the Providing Individuals Various Opportunities for Technical Training to Build a Skills-Based Cyber Workforce (Cyber PIVOTT) Act of 2024. The bill would require CISA to “establish education and training programs and facilitate internship and post-graduation Federal job opportunities at participating institutions”. No new funding would be authorized by this legislation.

This bill would amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 by adding a new section: §1334, CISA education and training programs and resources.

This bill is very similar to HR 9770 that was introduced by Green in September of 2024. On September 25^th, 2025. The House Homeland Security Committee held a markup hearing on September 25^th, 2024. The bill was amended and ordered to be reported favorably by a vote of 27 to 0. The report was never filed nor was an amended version of the bill published. No further action was taken.

Moving Forward

The House Homeland Security Committee will be holding a business meeting tomorrow where this bill will be considered. Based on the results when HR 9770 was considered last year, I suspect that there will be widespread, bipartisan support for the bill. Once the requisite report is published by the Committee this bill will almost certainly be taken up by the full House under the suspension of the rules process.
