In plain English

This bill extends the government's authority to conduct surveillance under Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act through October 20, 2027. Title VII permits the surveillance of foreign targets located outside the United States to gather foreign intelligence, including the incidental collection of communications from U.S. persons, which can be searched under certain circumstances. The bill also extends transition procedures that allow surveillance orders, authorizations, and directives to remain in effect after Title VII expires until their individual expiration dates. Rep. Eric A. Crawford (R-AR) sponsored the bill; a procedural rule for floor consideration failed to pass the House on April 17, 2026.
