A bill to amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to update and extend the authorities under title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) as part of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008. Specifically, it seeks to ensure that law enforcement and intelligence agencies have the tools they need to protect national security. This could involve changes to how these agencies can collect and use foreign intelligence information to prevent threats.
The changes would primarily affect law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, and potentially individuals whose communications might be monitored under these laws. Extending these authorities could mean broader surveillance capabilities, which could impact privacy rights and civil liberties. However, the exact effects would depend on how the amendments are crafted and implemented.
SB4760 was introduced on June 11, 2026, and has been referred to the Select Committee on Intelligence for further review. As of the last update, the bill is in the early stages of the legislative process, having been read twice and referred to the relevant committee. Future actions will depend on the committee's review and recommendations.
