Special Relationship Military Improvement Act of 2025

This bill modifies the Arms Export Control Act to streamline defense exports to the United Kingdom and Australia. It adds the UK to an existing exemption allowing defense item exports without separate bilateral agreements, and creates a new exemption for Australia under its existing defense treaty, specifically covering certain missile systems, biological agents, and nuclear weapons components. The exemption applies only when Australian laws prevent enforcement of export controls. This directly affects US defense export licensing requirements for transactions with these two countries, removing specific bureaucratic hurdles for listed defense items.
