To amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through April 20, 2029, and for other purposes.
This bill proposes to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through April 20, 2029. The act currently allows for the surveillance of non-U.S. persons outside the United States to gather foreign intelligence information. Extending these authorities would allow the government to continue using these tools to monitor foreign activities that may impact national security.
The bill would affect government agencies involved in foreign intelligence, such as the FBI and the Department of Defense, and potentially the individuals or groups being surveilled. It aims to ensure that these surveillance tools remain available for national security purposes over the next few years.
As of the last status date, the bill was introduced on April 27, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Intelligence for further consideration. This means it is in the early stages of the legislative process, and will need to be reviewed, debated, and voted on by the committees before it can move forward to a full House vote.
