Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would extend the government's authority under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows surveillance of certain foreign targets outside the United States. Under current law, this authority ends two years after the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act became law. The bill would change that end date to October 20, 2027. It also updates a related heading in the law to match the new date.
