What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Renewing Efforts to Suspend Testing and Reinforce Arms-control Initiatives Now Act or the RESTRAIN Act. It amends the Atomic Energy Defense Act to ban the United States from conducting any explosive testing of nuclear weapons or any other nuclear explosion. The bill also blocks the use of funds authorized for fiscal year 2026 or any other fiscal year from being used for these explosive tests or nuclear explosions. However, the bill clarifies that it does not limit the authority of the United States to conduct subcritical nuclear tests. Subcritical nuclear tests are defined as tests of fissile materials that cannot sustain an explosive nuclear chain reaction.
