A bill to modify the provision of law on expedited review of export licenses for exports of advanced technologies to Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

This bill proposes to amend the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, specifically Section 1344, which governs the expedited review of export licenses for advanced technologies. The primary objective is to provide a more comprehensive definition of what constitutes an "export" in the context of transfers to Australia, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The amendment adds a new subsection (d) to clarify that the term "export" includes all transfers of defense articles and defense services . This expanded definition explicitly covers a wide range of activities, such as reexports, retransfers, third-party transfers, temporary imports, and brokering activities of such articles and services. By broadening this definition, the bill aims to ensure that the expedited review process applies consistently across various forms of technology and defense-related transfers to these key allies.
