To amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through April 20, 2029, and for other purposes.

This bill would extend the federal government's foreign intelligence surveillance authority under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act until April 20, 2029. It would bar federal employees from intentionally targeting the communications of U.S. persons under Section 702, requiring instead a warrant or court order based on probable cause. It would limit when the FBI can add collected information to its databases and would require attorney approval for certain FBI searches using a U.S. person's information. It would create criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure, searches, or false statements about compliance. It would also require new procedures for congressional access to the surveillance courts and a Government Accountability Office audit of targeting procedures.
