Key provisions include: - Placing stricter limits on when the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) can conduct queries of information collected under FISA Section 702 targeting U.S. persons, requiring prior approval from an FBI supervisor or attorney. - Prohibiting political appointees from being involved in the process to approve FBI queries. - Requiring mandatory audits of U.S. person queries conducted by the FBI, with certain reporting requirements. - Revoking the FBI's authority to conduct queries solely to find and extract evidence of a crime, with some exceptions. - Placing restrictions on the FBI's ability to ingest unminimized FISA information into its repositories. - Requiring annual audits of FISA Section 702 targeting decisions to ensure they do not target known U.S. persons. - Implementing various reforms to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, such as requiring the same judge to hear extension applications and allowing for the appointment of amicus curiae. - Imposing new requirements for applications to the FISA Court, such as disclosing use of politically-derived information or media reports. - Establishing a FISA Reform Commission to consider ongoing reforms to FISA. The bill also includes provisions related to reporting, accountability, and penalties for violations of FISA.
