FISA Amendments Act Extension Through October 20, 2027
Summary
H.R. 8035 proposes 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. The bill, introduced March 24, 2026, extends the repeal date of Title VII surveillance authorities and related transition procedures. The amendments would take effect on the earlier of the enactment date or April 19, 2026.
What changed
H.R. 8035 amends the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 by extending the repeal date of Title VII authorities from the current two-year sunset to October 20, 2027. Section 1(a) modifies section 403(b) to change the effective date references from two years after enactment to the new October 2027 date. Section 1(b) similarly extends transition procedures under section 404(b).
Affected parties including government intelligence agencies, telecommunications firms, and technology companies that handle FISA orders should monitor this bill's progress through the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. The extended authorities affect how foreign intelligence surveillance is conducted and what compliance obligations apply to entities receiving FISA directives.
What to do next
- Monitor H.R. 8035 through legislative process
- Track Committee markup and floor vote schedules
- Review extended FISA Title VII authorities when enacted
