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 30, 2026, and for other purposes.
HR 8322 extends specific foreign intelligence surveillance authorities used by U.S. intelligence agencies. The bill postpones the repeal date of Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which includes Section 702, until April 30, 2026. This allows intelligence agencies to continue collecting foreign intelligence information under these provisions for an additional period. The legislation also extends the associated transition procedures related to these authorities.
