The Senate on Tuesday approved the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA) on a 74-21 vote.
The bill aims to give companies legal immunity for sharing potential data breaches with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which could then share such information with other federal agencies, including the FBI and the National Security Agency.
The Senate's version of CISA now heads to a conference committee where lawmakers will attempt to reconcile it with two versions passed by the House earlier this year, according FedScoop, which covers government technology news.
