Fourth Amendment Restoration and Protection Act of 2026

This bill would add a new title to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) that bars federal officers from requesting, and the FISA Court from ordering, electronic surveillance, physical searches, pen registers, records demands, or targeting aimed at United States persons. It would bar officers from searching data collected under Section 702 using terms associated with a United States person. Information about a United States person gathered under FISA or Executive Order 12333 could not be used as evidence against that person in criminal, civil, or administrative proceedings or investigations, though the affected person could use it themselves. The bill would also require that searches and data collection targeting United States persons use only authority provided by statute or the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and would bar queries of their records under Executive Order 12333.
