Summary

The bill rewrites rules for the foreign‑intelligence surveillance program known as Section 702, banning warrantless queries about U.S. persons, shortening how long data can be kept, and requiring a primary foreign‑intelligence purpose. It also extends privacy protections to electronic communications, data‑broker information, and even vehicle data, while creating stronger oversight and reporting duties. The goal is to better protect civil liberties without undermining national security.
