A bill to extend certain authorities under the Defense Production Act of 1950.

This legislative proposal aims to extend the operational period of specific authorities granted by the Defense Production Act of 1950 . The bill directly amends Section 717(a) of the Act, which governs its expiration date. By striking the current expiration date of September 30, 2025 , and inserting September 30, 2026 , the bill effectively prolongs the Act's provisions for an additional year. This extension ensures the continued availability of the Act's powers, which are crucial for national defense and emergency preparedness.
