Extends foreign intelligence surveillance powers for U.S. agencies until April 30, 2026.

This bill would extend certain foreign intelligence surveillance powers for U.S. agencies until April 30, 2026. Without this bill, these powers would end sooner. This means intelligence agencies could continue their current surveillance operations, while individuals would remain subject to these authorities.

What Would Change

Today, certain foreign intelligence surveillance powers under Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act are set to expire sooner. If this bill becomes law, these powers would be extended until April 30, 2026. This means the existing legal framework for foreign intelligence surveillance would continue for about another year.

Key Provisions
