Bill overview
This bill, the Defense Civilian Faculty Copyright Act of 2025, aims to clarify copyright law regarding works created by civilian faculty members at the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences. Specifically, it allows the federal government to use these faculty’s literary works without having to pay royalties. The bill modifies existing copyright law to explicitly include the University within the scope of royalty-free usage for government purposes. This change is intended to streamline the use of research and educational materials produced by these faculty.
