This bill would require the Director of National Intelligence to publicly release, within 14 days, a March 17, 2026 surveillance court opinion about Section 702, with redactions to protect sources and methods. It would require surveillance court decisions that involve significant legal interpretations, sensitive investigative matters such as those involving public officials, religious or political groups, or news media, or that are nominated by a court-appointed amicus, to be reviewed and released within 180 days. It would require yearly reports to Congress on sensitive queries, public posting of intelligence reports on violations of law, and estimates of searches for U.S. persons' information collected under Executive Order 12333. It would also extend Section 702 surveillance authority from June 12, 2026 to July 17, 2026.
