What it does
The bill would extend the authorities of Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978—commonly known as Section 702—through May 21, 2026, by amending the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to replace the current expiration date of April 30, 2026, with May 21, 2026 in two statutory provisions. It also requires the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the Attorney General, to publicly release a specific Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinion dated March 17, 2026, concerning Section 702 certifications by May 12, 2026, with necessary redactions to protect intelligence sources and methods. The extension would take effect upon enactment or April 29, 2026, whichever comes first. The bill affects U.S. intelligence surveillance authorities and involves oversight by the Select Committee on Intelligence.
