U.S. foreign surveillance powers would run through April 2029

Officially: A bill to extend section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 for 3 years.

U.S. intelligence agencies could keep using Section 702 surveillance powers until April 20, 2029. The bill only changes the end date. It does not change who can be watched, how the program works, or what safeguards apply.
