The government's ability to conduct certain types of foreign intelligence surveillance would be extended for several more years under this proposal. Specifically, it would keep in place a law that allows federal agencies to monitor communications involving foreign targets without getting individual court warrants, as long as they follow certain procedures. The extension would last until May 2026, giving Congress time to decide whether to renew, change, or end this surveillance authority again in the future.
