Plain-English Summary

The bill would restrict federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies from conducting surveillance on members of Congress without meeting stricter legal requirements and oversight procedures. It aims to prevent what supporters view as politically motivated investigations targeting lawmakers and to reinforce constitutional limits on executive power over the legislative branch. The measure has been sent to the House Judiciary Committee for review.
