B-2 Production Termination Act - Prohibits funds appropriated to the Department of Defense (DOD) after FY 1990 from being used to commence production of B-2 aircraft.

Directs the Secretary of Defense to preserve production facilities and tooling for production of such aircraft in order to maintain an option to produce such aircraft in the future.
