This bill aims to extend the authority of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978 for an additional three years. It specifically amends Section 403(b) of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to achieve this extension. The legislation changes the current expiration date of the Section 702 authority to April 20, 2029 . This modification ensures the continuation of a critical foreign intelligence collection program by pushing back its sunset clause. A conforming amendment is also included to update related statutory language to reflect this new expiration date.
