Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This law extends the federal foreign intelligence surveillance powers in title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which includes Section 702, so they remain in place until April 30, 2026. It replaces the earlier end date, set at two years after the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act, with the fixed date of April 30, 2026, when title VII would be repealed. It also updates the transition rules that let certain orders and procedures continue after the repeal date. The changes take effect on the date of enactment or April 19, 2026, whichever comes first.
