What this bill would do
This bill consists of two main parts: the Foreign Intelligence Accountability Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. The first title implements stricter oversight on FBI queries of United States persons under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. It introduces monthly civil liberties reviews, criminal penalties for certain FBI violations, and new targeting requirements. The second title prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing or indirectly issuing a central bank digital currency. It also prevents the Board of Governors from testing, studying, or developing such a currency.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Enhanced Civil Liberties Oversight: The bill requires the FBI to provide monthly written statements regarding United States person queries to the Civil Liberties Protection Officer (Section 101(a)(1)(A)). This allows for a review to determine if queries meet required standards or if there are possible abuses of privacy.
-
Increased Accountability for Intelligence Officials: The bill establishes criminal penalties, including fines and up to five years in prison, for FBI employees who willfully violate querying procedures or falsify compliance with those procedures (Section 102(a)).
-
Stronger Protections for United States Persons: The bill adds a requirement that no government officer or employee may intentionally target a United States person under section 702, and mandates that targeting must follow specific order requirements or warrants (Section 103).
-
Greater Transparency through Audits: The Comptroller General is required to conduct an audit of targeting procedures and submit a report to Congress to analyze if procedures appropriately limit targeting to non-United States persons (Section 106).
-
Protection Against Digital Currency Implementation: The bill prohibits Federal Reserve banks from offering financial products or services directly to individuals or maintaining accounts for them (Section 202). It also prevents the development or implementation of a central bank digital currency (Section 204).
Potential Negative Impacts for People
- Removal of Existing Procedures: The Attorney General is required to revoke current procedures regarding Member access to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and must issue new ones (Section 104).
