Plain-English Summary
The government would continue its ability to collect communications from foreign targets living outside the United States without getting individual court warrants, a surveillance power that was set to expire. This affects how the FBI, CIA, and NSA can monitor suspected foreign threats and terrorists, though civil liberties groups worry it could sweep up communications from Americans who talk to people overseas. The bill extends these surveillance authorities that have been in place since 2008 and are considered essential tools for national security by intelligence agencies.
