This act extends the authorities of Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until June 12, 2026. Title VII of FISA generally addresses electronic surveillance and other methods of acquiring foreign intelligence information that are directed at targets outside the United States. Title VII includes surveillance under Section 702, which concerns acquiring communications of non-U.S. persons believed to be outside the United States to obtain foreign intelligence information. Information about U.S. persons may incidentally be acquired by this type of surveillance and subsequently queried (searched) under certain circumstances. For additional information see CRS In Focus, IF11451 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) ; and CRS Report, R48592 FISA Section 702 and the 2024 Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act .

Summary

Recorded summary

This House measure extends the authorities of Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, including Section 702, until June 12, 2026. Section 702 allows acquisition of communications of non-U.S. persons believed to be outside the United States to obtain foreign intelligence. It can incidentally acquire information about U.S. persons, which may later be queried under certain circumstances. The summary does not add new warrant requirements or other new limits on the power.

Theological note: Scripture grounds government's duty to protect the public from real foreign threats, but it also requires that power be exercised with justice and restraint, and that persons not be subjected to unjust intrusion. The issue is relevant because the bill prolongs a surveillance power whose incidental reach extends to U.S. persons' communications, raising questions of general equity and the protection of private life.
