A bill to extend section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 for 18 months.

This bill proposes to extend the authority of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978, which permits the collection of foreign intelligence information from non-U.S. persons located outside the United States. It specifically amends Section 403(b) of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to modify the program's sunset date. The legislation replaces the current expiration clause, which ties the sunset to the enactment of the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act, with a fixed date of October 20, 2027 . This change grants an 18-month extension for the government's ability to conduct this critical foreign intelligence collection. A conforming amendment is also included to ensure consistency in related statutory language.
