Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill amends two existing U.S. laws to extend the waiver period for transferring defense articles to the Republic of Cyprus. Specifically, it changes the allowed waiver duration from one fiscal year to three fiscal years in: - the Eastern Mediterranean Security and Energy Partnership Act of 2019, and - the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020. In practical terms, the bill broadens the window during which the United States may transfer defense articles to Cyprus without needing a fresh waiver, potentially enabling longer-term security arrangements, training, or equipment sales to Cyprus under these authorities.
