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

Key Points

• This bill extends the government's surveillance authority under FISA Title VII by 20 days, pushing the expiration date from June 12 to July 2, 2026. This keeps intelligence agencies' ability to collect foreign communications intact while Congress works on a longer-term solution.
• The extension covers Section 702 of FISA, the controversial program that lets agencies like the NSA collect emails, calls, and messages of foreigners located outside the United States without a traditional warrant. The program has been debated heavily because it sometimes sweeps up Americans' communications too.
• The bill is designed to take effect immediately or by June 11, 2026, whichever comes first. This ensures there is no gap in surveillance authority before the previous June 12 deadline.
• The committees on Judiciary and Intelligence were both discharged on the same day the bill was introduced, signaling urgency to get this through Congress before the current authority expires.
