Limiting Government Surveillance and Protecting Americans' Privacy Rights.

This bill significantly restricts the ability of intelligence agencies to collect and use data about US citizens under foreign surveillance programs. It prohibits targeting Americans using foreign intelligence tools and prevents information gathered this way from being used as evidence against them in criminal, civil, or administrative proceedings. This strengthens privacy protections and civil liberties, aligning with the Fourth Amendment.
Key points
Intelligence agencies are prohibited from using foreign surveillance tools (FISA) to intentionally target or collect data on US persons.
Information about Americans collected through foreign surveillance cannot be used as evidence against them in any court or administrative proceeding.
The bill bans the practice of searching intelligence databases using keywords associated with US citizens ("backdoor searches").
