A bill to extend section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 for 3 years.

The bill would extend the authority of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 for three additional years, allowing the government to continue certain foreign intelligence surveillance activities. It amends existing provisions in the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to replace the current expiration timeline—previously tied to the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act—with a fixed end date of April 20, 2029. The change affects intelligence agencies and surveillance practices governed by Section 702, which targets non-U.S. persons located outside the United States for foreign intelligence purposes. The bill was introduced in the Senate on April 17, 2026, read twice, and placed on the calendar, with cloture on the motion to proceed later withdrawn by unanimous consent.
