S 4740 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 to improve transparency, and for other purposes.

This bill aims to increase transparency in U.S. foreign intelligence surveillance by requiring the public release of specific court opinions and annual reports on sensitive data queries. It mandates that the Director of National Intelligence make certain significant court decisions available to the public within 180 days, while also demanding yearly reports detailing the number of approved and denied requests to search for sensitive information. Additionally, the legislation requires the government to publish reports on violations of surveillance laws online and to provide estimates on how often U.S. citizens' data is queried outside of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The bill also extends the expiration date for a specific section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by five weeks.
