Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 8035) 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.
Summary
What This Bill Does
This House resolution is a procedural rule for considering H.R. 8035. The underlying bill would amend the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act through October 20, 2027. The resolution itself does not directly renew surveillance authorities; it controls how the House considers the renewal bill.
The practical effect is to move the title VII extension debate onto the House floor under terms set by the rule. That affects which procedural objections, debate opportunities, and amendment paths are available for members considering FISA surveillance authority.
Who Benefits and How
House majority floor managers benefit from a structured route to consider H.R. 8035. Intelligence community planners benefit indirectly if the rule advances extension of title VII surveillance authorities. National-security committees benefit from a floor process for the surveillance debate. Supporters of continuity in foreign-intelligence collection benefit if the underlying bill moves forward.
Who Bears the Burden and How
House members seeking broader amendment opportunities may be constrained by the rule. Privacy and civil liberties advocates may face a narrower procedural path for changing the underlying surveillance bill. Intelligence oversight staff must evaluate the extension under the rule's debate structure. Opponents of title VII renewal lose procedural leverage if objections are waived or debate is limited.
Key Provisions
- Provides House floor consideration for H.R. 8035.
- Extends the legislative path for FISA title VII authorities through the underlying bill.
- Structures debate and procedural opportunities around surveillance-authority renewal.
