NSA Oversight Act

The NSA Oversight Act (H.R. 4976) seeks to clarify that the federal government must follow specific existing laws, such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), when conducting electronic surveillance on people within the United States. The bill would prohibit the executive branch from using alternative legal justifications for domestic wiretapping unless Congress passes a new law explicitly authorizing them. Additionally, it would require the President to provide Congress with a detailed report identifying any U.S. citizens who were monitored outside of these established legal frameworks and the reasons they were targeted.
