Modernizing the Acquisition of Cybersecurity Experts Act of 2023

This bill modifies educational requirements for cybersecurity positions in the federal government.

Specifically, the bill prohibits federal agencies from establishing minimum educational requirements for cybersecurity positions unless such requirements are mandated by law for the position in the state or locality in which the work is to be performed.

The Office of Personnel Management must annually publish on its website (1) any changes to minimum qualifications relating to education for these positions, and (2) data on the level of education of those occupying these positions.
