What S. 4465 does
The government's authority to collect foreign intelligence on targets outside the United States, including under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), is extended by S. 4465 until June 12, 2026. The law extends Title VII of FISA, which covers electronic surveillance and other ways of acquiring foreign intelligence information aimed at targets outside the country.
Section 702 allows the collection of communications of non-U.S. persons believed to be outside the United States. Information about U.S. persons may be picked up incidentally and later searched under certain circumstances.
