Plain-English Summary

This bill would require federal law enforcement agencies to publicly report how often they conduct surveillance activities like wiretaps, searches, and data collection, along with details about what types of crimes they're investigating. The transparency reports would help Congress and the public understand the scope of government surveillance and ensure agencies aren't overusing these investigative tools. The measure affects law enforcement agencies, the courts that approve surveillance requests, and anyone concerned about privacy rights.
