This bill reauthorizes a section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for four years, extending key foreign intelligence collection authority through April 20, 2030. It introduces new safeguards limiting warrantless queries involving U.S. persons, enhances privacy protections for digital data and car data, and increases court oversight. The bill expands the use of independent amici curiae—neutral legal experts advising the court on privacy and civil liberties. It also increases transparency through detailed public reporting requirements and addresses issues like data retention and reverse targeting, seeking to balance national security with personal privacy protections.
