Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Committee on Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill extends surveillance authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and adds new protections for Americans' communications. Specifically, it extends Title VII surveillance powers through April 20, 2029, rather than allowing them to expire on April 30, 2026. The bill also requires federal agents to obtain warrants before intentionally targeting communications of U.S. citizens, with limited exceptions for cases involving foreign powers or crimes supported by probable cause. It strengthens penalties for unauthorized access to surveillance data, increases prison sentences for unlawful disclosure of communications from 5 to 8 years, and requires attorney approval before the FBI can query surveillance databases using American names or identifiers. Additionally, the bill directs Congress members to have access to Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court proceedings and orders the Government Accountability Office to audit whether targeting procedures properly limit surveillance to non-Americans located abroad.
