National Defense Supply Chain Integrity Act of 2025

The National Defense Supply Chain Integrity Act of 2025 amends a 2021 defense law to change how the Department of Defense identifies companies linked to the Chinese military. It reclassifies these determinations as "military or foreign affairs functions," exempting them from standard federal administrative procedures like public notice, comment periods, and judicial review under the Administrative Procedure Act. This would directly affect the process for designating companies as military-linked, making those decisions final without typical regulatory steps. The bill does not create new designations but alters the legal framework for existing ones.
