Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It would bar the government from targeting a person abroad under Section 702 when a significant purpose is to collect information about particular, known U.S. persons or people in the United States, with exceptions for emergencies involving threats of death or serious harm and for cases where the person consents. It would require a FISA court order or a criminal warrant before the government targets a U.S. person or a person in the United States to collect content of their communications, location information, web browsing or search history, and a court order for pen register or trap and trace collection, regardless of where the collection happens. It would also extend the expiration date of Section 702 from June 12, 2026 to September 18, 2026.
