To amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 through October 20, 2027, and for other purposes.

What does the HR 8035 do?

HR 8035 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Eric A. "Rick" Crawford (R-AR-1). Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act lets the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence jointly authorize the targeting of people reasonably believed to be outside the United States to collect foreign intelligence, for up to a year at a time, and states that the regular FISA court-order process is not required for that targeting. This bill replaces the shut-off trigger, which was set at two years after the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act was approved on April 20, 2024, with a fixed repeal date of October 20, 2027, and rewrites the matching rule for orders already in effect when that date arrives. Sets a fixed October 20, 2027 repeal date for FISA Title VII surveillance authorities in place of the trigger tied to the 2024 reform law, with no new limits attached.
