This bill introduces significant reforms to Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), primarily focusing on enhanced protections for United States persons. It explicitly prohibits warrantless access by federal officers or employees to "covered information" – including communications content and other sensitive data – obtained through Section 702 acquisitions, when such information is returned in response to a "covered query" targeting a U.S. person or someone believed to be in the U.S. The legislation outlines specific exceptions where access is permitted, such as when there is concurrent legal authorization like a warrant, in emergency situations involving imminent threats of death or serious harm, with the consent of the covered person, or for defensive cybersecurity purposes . For emergency and cybersecurity exceptions, the bill mandates prompt notification to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) and congressional committees, with the FISC tasked with reviewing the justification for emergency access. Furthermore, the bill requires that all queries be conducted with a significant foreign intelligence purpose and be reasonably likely to retrieve foreign intelligence information, with limited exceptions for the FBI in emergencies or for litigation obligations. To ensure accountability, it mandates the creation of a detailed electronic record for every query and access, documenting the terms used, the officer involved, and the justification. Agencies are also required to establish a robust query record system and report on their compliance. Finally, beyond these reforms, the bill provides a nine-month extension for Section 702 of FISA, moving its repeal date from June 12, 2026, to March 12, 2027.
