S 3085: Firearm Access During Shutdowns Act of 2025

This bill ensures that critical firearm-related operations continue during government shutdowns by designating them as "excepted" under federal law. It specifically covers the FBI's background check system (NICS), ATF enforcement programs, Commerce Department firearm export licensing, and State Department defense trade controls. These functions would remain operational even if most government services halt, directly affecting firearm background checks and export licensing processes. The policy change prevents temporary disruptions to gun sales and international firearm transactions during shutdowns.

The funding remains available until the earliest of: a new budget passing, a continuing resolution without this funding, or January 1, 2027. It directly affects all active-duty military, reserve components, and civilian/contractor support staff within the Department of Defense and Coast Guard.

S 2018: A bill to modify certain limitations and exclusions regarding defense articles and requirements regarding security assistance and sales with respect to the Republic of Cyprus.

This bill extends the duration of waivers allowing U.S. defense transfers to Cyprus. It amends two existing laws (the 2019 Eastern Mediterranean Security Act and the 2020 Defense Authorization Act) to change the waiver period from "one fiscal year" to "three fiscal years." The change directly affects U.S. defense article sales and security assistance to Cyprus by allowing longer-term waivers without congressional approval. This is a procedural adjustment to existing law, not a new policy.
