119th (2025–2027)
S. 4344
S. 4344 would extend the federal government’s authority to conduct surveillance under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for three more years. Section 702 allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect foreign intelligence information from non-U.S. persons located overseas, and the extension would keep that authority in place until April 20, 2029. The bill mainly affects intelligence and law enforcement agencies that use this tool for national security investigations, but it also has privacy implications for people whose communications may be incidentally collected. It does not provide new funding.
