What this bill would do

This bill is called the National Defense Supply Chain Integrity Act of 2025. It aims to change section 1260H of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. The goal is to clarify that identifying Chinese military companies is not covered by the Administrative Procedure Act. Specifically, it labels these determinations as military or foreign affairs functions.
