Current stage on Congress.gov: Reported in House.
This is a procedural rule — the House's scheduling order for debating H.R. 8035, which would extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act through October 20, 2027. Section 702 is the legal authority the government uses to collect emails, calls, and texts of foreigners overseas — a program that has also swept in Americans' communications. The rule sets one hour of debate split between the Judiciary and Intelligence committees and allows one motion to recommit. Its real impact depends on whether the underlying FISA bill passes.
