Introduced 2026-06-08Topic: veterans militarySummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes a section of the Arms Export Control Act that covers exports and transfers of defense articles and services under the AUKUS partnership between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Current law limits this arrangement by pointing to a list of items in another part of the Act, subsection (j)(1)(C)(ii). The bill would add words so that three parts of that list, subclauses (I), (II), and (III), are no longer included in the limitation. The bill makes no other changes.
