What it does

The bill would prohibit reverse targeting of U.S. persons and individuals located in the United States under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, meaning intelligence agencies could not intentionally target someone abroad primarily to collect information about a specific known or believed domestic person without meeting strict emergency or consent conditions. It would also require a warrant or court order for any acquisition of communications content, location data, web browsing, or search history involving covered persons (U.S. persons or those believed to be in the U.S.), extending judicial oversight to domestic surveillance activities previously conducted under Section 702. Additionally, the bill amends Section 702 to replace “known” with “known or believed” in several provisions to broaden protections and extends the repeal date of Section 702 from June 12, 2026, to September 18, 2026.
