Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-84.
Signed into law by the President (or passed over a veto). Now public law.
The President signed the bill into law (or Congress overrode a veto). It's now public law and federal agencies will implement it.
Extends foreign intelligence surveillance powers through April 2026.
The problem
Title VII surveillance authorities under FISA expire and need renewal to maintain national security intelligence gathering capabilities.
The proposal
The bill extends Title VII authorities of FISA through April 30, 2026, allowing continued surveillance operations for foreign intelligence purposes.
The impact
Intelligence agencies can maintain surveillance programs. Privacy advocates and monitored individuals face ongoing surveillance. Congress gets more time to debate reforms.
Extending these authorities ensures intelligence agencies maintain capability to monitor foreign threats without operational gaps. Prevents disruption to ongoing national security investigations and counterterrorism efforts.
The extension deadline gives Congress time to thoroughly debate and decide on permanent reform of surveillance authorities. Allows stakeholders to propose improvements before reauthorization.
Maintains consistent U.S. intelligence capabilities for coordinating with allies on shared security threats. Prevents weakening of intelligence partnerships during the extension period.
Extends surveillance powers without addressing ongoing concerns about Americans' privacy rights and potential overreach. Allows continued monitoring without new safeguards or restrictions.
The bill provides limited public information about how surveillance authorities are actually used. Citizens have minimal ability to understand or challenge surveillance activities.
Rather than fixing controversial aspects of surveillance law, the extension merely delays decisions. May perpetuate problematic surveillance practices for another two years.
Brief extensions allow agencies to continue operations with minimal legislative scrutiny or requirement for detailed justification of surveillance methods and necessity.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
