Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

UNLOCK AUKUS Act

Key claim: The UNLOCK AUKUS Act (HR9517, 119th Congress) was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Abstract

(HR9517 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-29): Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Why this matters

AUKUS-related legislation typically targets ITAR/EAR licensing carve-outs for Australia and the UK, which directly affects U.S. defense exporters, allied importers, and the pace of trilateral submarine and advanced-capability cooperation. Even at the referral stage, the bill is worth tracking because prior AUKUS export-control changes (e.g., the 2024 ITAR exemption) materially reshaped defense trade compliance obligations.
