What it does

The bill would amend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to prohibit warrantless access to the communications of U.S. persons and individuals located in the United States, except under specific exceptions such as emergency situations, consent, concurrent authorization, or defensive cybersecurity purposes. It requires federal agencies to maintain detailed electronic records of all queries and accesses to covered information, including justification and officer identifiers, and mandates annual compliance assessments by the Attorney General. Additionally, the bill extends the repeal date of Section 702 from June 12, 2026, to March 12, 2027.
