This bill amends the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to increase public transparency regarding how the government conducts surveillance. The bill requires the Director of National Intelligence to publicly release a classified court opinion about surveillance activities within 14 days of enactment, with sensitive information redacted to protect intelligence sources. It also mandates annual reports to Congress detailing requests to conduct sensitive queries of surveillance data, including how many were approved or denied. The bill requires the government to declassify and publicly release significant court decisions and opinions related to surveillance within 180 days of issuance, particularly those involving novel legal interpretations or sensitive matters involving political officials, religious organizations, or news media. Additionally, the bill directs the government to publicly post reports about violations of surveillance law or executive orders, and requires intelligence agencies to report how many times they searched for information about U.S. persons using non-FISA surveillance authorities. Finally, the bill extends the authorization for Section 702 surveillance authority from June 12, 2026 to July 17, 2026.
