To amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through April 20, 2029, and for other purposes.

HR 8512 would extend the surveillance authorities under Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) from expiring on April 30, 2026, to April 20, 2029. It would impose new restrictions on how the FBI handles information collected about U.S. persons under Section 702, including requiring a warrant to target U.S. persons’ communications and prohibiting the use of unlawfully acquired information in criminal proceedings. The bill also increases penalties for unauthorized disclosure or misuse of surveillance data, mandates attorney approval for certain FBI queries, revokes and replaces procedures for congressional access to FISA court proceedings, and requires a Government Accountability Office audit of targeting practices under Section 702. These changes affect U.S. intelligence operations, federal employees handling surveillance data, and the privacy protections for U.S. persons whose communications may be incidentally collected.
