What This Bill Does

This bill reauthorizes Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until April 30, 2029, and expands protections related to surveillance under Section 702 of FISA. It also prohibits a Federal Reserve bank from offering financial products or services directly to an individual, maintaining an account on behalf of an individual, or issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

Section 702 of FISA concerns acquiring communications of non-U.S. persons believed to be outside the United States to obtain foreign intelligence information. Information about U.S. persons may incidentally be acquired by this type of surveillance and subsequently queried (searched) under certain circumstances.

Changes to Section 702 include requiring monthly reviews by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) for each U.S. person query conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). ODNI must refer queries that do not comply with established standards, as well as possible abuses of civil liberties or privacy, to the Office of the Intelligence Community Inspector General.

The bill institutes criminal penalties for (1) those who knowingly and willingly falsify or materially misrepresent complying with querying procedures, and (2) FBI personnel who knowingly and willingly violate procedures related to U.S. person queries.

FBI supervisors may no longer approve U.S. person queries; only certain FBI attorneys may do so.

The Federal Reserve System's Board of Governors may not use a CBDC to implement monetary policy or test, study, create, or implement a CBDC, with certain exceptions.

What Congress Said

Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.

Republicans9 spoke

This bill would also impose criminal penalties for those who knowingly conduct improper queries and those who lie about conducting improper queries.
Jim JordanR-OH, House, April 29, 2026
I rise in support of S. 1318, the Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act. This legislation makes further reforms to section 702, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and reauthorizes the authority for 3 years.
Eric A. "Rick" CrawfordR-AR, House, April 29, 2026
I rise today in strong support of S. 1318, the Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act, and I thank Chairman Crawford for his leadership and steadfast support for reauthorization of FISA 702.
Darin LaHoodR-IL, House, April 29, 2026

By the way, after we passed RISAA--56 reforms, by the way--the 2-year report card is in. There are zero abuses.
Brian K. FitzpatrickR-PA, House, April 29, 2026
This is so important, as demonstrated by Mr. Hoyer, that we have clear, active protections on how this program is used to target foreign nationals with those protections to protect Americans' privacy under the Fourth Amendment.
J. French HillR-AR, House, April 29, 2026
Last Congress, House Republicans delivered critical reforms, as we referred to, in section 702--56, in fact--and this bill builds on that progress by strengthening privacy protections for Americans, while ensuring the tool precisely targets foreign persons and only foreign persons who pose a threat to the United States.
Ronny JacksonR-TX, House, April 29, 2026
I rise in support of S. 1318, the Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act. This legislation will extend FISA section 702 for another 3 years.
Claudia TenneyR-NY, House, April 29, 2026
I ask that the Chair lay before the Senate the House message to accompany S. 1318, and I ask for the yeas and nays.
John ThuneR-SD, Senate, June 4, 2026
had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 142.
Nicholas A. LangworthyR-NY, House, April 29, 2026

Democrats7 spoke

I urge all of our colleagues, with constitutional patriotism still beating in their hearts after this tortured and demeaning and visibly transactional process we have seen today, to oppose the legislation.
Jamie RaskinD-MD, House, April 29, 2026
However, we are where we are, and I am going to support this legislation because in my decade on the House Intelligence Committee, I have seen countless, countless instances where the intelligence obtained through section 702 quite literally saved lives.
James A. HimesD-CT, House, April 29, 2026
The point I will make is, this has been a bipartisan process with bipartisan Presidential buy-in to the necessity to have this legislation adopted to keep Americans safe while also adopting significant reforms in 2008 and some reforms thereafter to provide for the privacy protections to the American people.
Steny H. HoyerD-MD, House, April 29, 2026

FISA section 702 can be a powerful tool against foreign threats, but without significant guardrails against abuse, it is also a massive threat to the privacy and civil liberties of all Americans. That is why I must oppose this legislation.
Jerrold NadlerD-NY, House, April 29, 2026
I rise in strong opposition to this bill to reauthorize FISA with no reforms. I have long worked on bipartisan reforms that protect the privacy of Americans, and, frankly, I am sad that some of my colleagues across the aisle who were part of that struggle have caved to Donald Trump.
Pramila JayapalD-WA, House, April 29, 2026
I have opposed this abuse under both Republican and Democratic administrations, and I oppose it today.
Zoe LofgrenD-CA, House, April 29, 2026
I announce that the Senator from Colorado (Mr. Bennet) is necessarily absent.
Richard J. DurbinD-IL, Senate, June 4, 2026
