Show full summary
- Individuals and privacy advocates: Establishes monthly civil liberties reviews of any U.S. person query and empowers a Civil Liberties Protection Officer to refer suspected abuses to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. It creates criminal penalties, including fines and up to five years in prison, for willful violations or falsifying compliance with 702 querying rules.
- Congress and auditors: Requires new attendance procedures so Members of Congress and staff can access Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court proceedings and directs the Government Accountability Office to audit 702 targeting with a report due within one year.
- Currency users and the Federal Reserve: Prohibits Federal Reserve Banks from directly or indirectly issuing a central bank digital currency, from maintaining individual accounts, and from testing or using a CBDC for monetary policy while preserving an exception for privacy-focused, dollar-denominated private currencies.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Stronger privacy checks on intelligence searches
This bill would ban intentionally targeting a U.S. person under Section 702. If a U.S. person is involved, the government would need a traditional FISA order, a physical search order, another permitted FISA order, or a criminal warrant. The FBI would send monthly written statements for every U.S.-person query to the ODNI Civil Liberties Protection Officer, who would review them and refer suspected abuses to the Intelligence Community Inspector General. New criminal penalties would apply for knowingly breaking the query rules or lying about compliance, with fines or up to 5 years in prison. The bill would change the FBI’s internal approval chain for U.S.-person queries. The Government Accountability Office would audit Section 702 targeting and report to Congress within one year. The Attorney General would, within 60 days, issue procedures to ensure Members of Congress and specified staff can access proceedings of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and its Court of Review.
Keeps foreign intelligence powers until 2029
This bill would extend certain foreign intelligence surveillance authorities from April 30, 2026 to April 30, 2029. The change would take effect on the earlier of enactment or April 29, 2026. It would keep these authorities in place for three more years.
Blocks a Federal digital dollar and accounts
Federal Reserve Banks would not be able to offer products to people, hold individual accounts, or issue a central bank digital dollar. They would also be barred from offering a CBDC through banks or other middlemen. The Federal Reserve would not test, study, develop, create, or implement a CBDC, and it would not use one for monetary policy. A CBDC would be defined as dollar‑denominated digital money that is a direct Fed liability and open to the public. The bill would not ban private, open, permissionless dollar‑denominated currencies that keep cash‑like privacy.
