S. 1318: Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act

Republican · KS
What S. 1318 does
S. 1318 would reauthorize Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until April 30, 2029, and add protections around surveillance under Section 702. That section covers collecting communications of non-U.S. persons believed to be outside the country, which can incidentally sweep in information about U.S. persons.
The bill would require monthly reviews of each FBI search of that information for a U.S. person, with noncompliant searches and possible abuses referred to the intelligence community's inspector general. It would set criminal penalties for knowingly falsifying compliance with search procedures and for FBI personnel who knowingly violate them, and only certain FBI attorneys, not supervisors, could approve such searches. Separately, the bill would bar a Federal Reserve bank from offering financial products or services directly to an individual, keeping an account for an individual, or issuing a central bank digital currency, and would bar the Federal Reserve Board from using one to implement monetary policy or from testing, studying, creating or implementing one, with certain exceptions.
