Protecting Americans from Undue Surveillance Act of 2024

HR 7331 establishes a new FISA Oversight Office within the Justice Department to review applications for foreign intelligence surveillance targeting U.S. persons. The Office can challenge applications it determines do not meet legal standards for probable cause, particularly when surveillance involves U.S. citizens or residents. It requires the Justice Department to share all relevant evidence with the Office and mandates annual reports to Congress detailing how often the Office challenges or declines to challenge surveillance requests. This bill directly affects U.S. persons whose communications may be subject to FISA surveillance by adding an independent review layer before court approval.
