To prohibit the issuance of licenses for the exportation of certain defense articles to the United Arab Emirates, and for other purposes.

HR 8501 prohibits the U.S. government from issuing licenses to export certain defense articles to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) or its agencies. This ban takes effect immediately upon the bill's enactment and continues until the President certifies to Congress that the UAE has stopped providing material support to Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The restriction applies specifically to military equipment listed in Categories I-VIII, XIV, XVI-XVIII of the U.S. Munitions List (e.g., weapons, vehicles, and related technology). The bill directly affects U.S. defense exporters and the UAE government, requiring congressional oversight before exports can resume.
