Defense Civilian Faculty Copyright Act of 2025

This bill changes federal copyright law to add the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences to the list of military schools covered by an existing rule in Section 105 of title 17. Under that rule, the federal government may use, without paying royalties, literary works that civilian faculty members create as part of their jobs at those schools. The bill also renumbers related parts of the law so cross-references stay correct.
