Summary
The PORCUPINE Act changes the Arms Export Control Act so that Taiwan is treated like other close partners for faster certification and reporting on U.S. weapons sales. It also orders the State Department to evaluate a rapid licensing process for NATO members, Japan, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand, and Israel when they transfer U.S.-origin defense items to Taiwan. The bill would expire seven years after enactment.
