## Summary

**Speeds and standardizes U.S. export licensing for defense articles and services.** This bill would force the State Department to create a list of countries and end-users that need faster decisions and to set firm review timelines for all other license requests. - Defense exporters: Companies and sellers of defense articles and services would get clearer deadlines for reviews, with listed destinations subject to a 45-day decision goal and other destinations a 60-day goal. - Designated partners and end-users: The Department must develop the expedited list within 90 days, send it to Congress within 30 days of completion, and update it annually. - Oversight and national security checks: State must send semiannual reports covering the prior 180 days that identify missed deadlines and explain delays; the timelines may be suspended for specified congressional review periods or while the Defense Department completes required approvals.
