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

This bill would extend the federal government's authority to collect communications of foreign targets under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act from June 12, 2026 to June 12, 2029. It would bar targeting Americans' communications under that authority without a probable-cause warrant or court order, limit when the FBI may add collected data to its databases, and block use of improperly collected information against Americans in criminal cases. It would create criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized searches of Americans' information, and false statements to the surveillance court, and would require attorney approval for certain FBI searches. It would also require surveillance court reviews every 90 days, a Government Accountability Office audit, new rules for congressional access to surveillance court proceedings, and would bar the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency until the end of 2031.
