Summary
The PORCUPINE Act amends the Arms Export Control Act to add Taiwan to the list of countries eligible for expedited certification and reporting procedures for military equipment transfers. The bill requires the Secretary of State to assess the feasibility of establishing an expedited licensing process for allied countries (NATO members, Japan, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand, and Israel) to transfer defense articles to Taiwan, with a report due within 180 days. The amendments apply shorter certification timelines and reduced reporting burdens to Taiwan transfers, similar to those currently applied to Israel and New Zealand.
