What it does

The bill would amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to increase transparency by requiring the public release of certain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court opinions, annual congressional reports on sensitive queries under Section 702, declassification of significant court decisions within 180 days, public availability of intelligence violation reports, and estimates of U.S. person queries conducted outside FISA under Executive Order 12333. It also extends the repeal date of Section 702 from June 12, 2026, to July 17, 2026. These changes affect the Director of National Intelligence, the Attorney General, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and intelligence community elements, imposing new reporting, declassification, and disclosure requirements.
