S. 4344 is a bill that proposes to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978 for an additional three years. Section 702 allows the U.S. government to collect foreign intelligence information from non-U.S. citizens located outside the United States, with the goal of protecting national security. This is done without obtaining a warrant for each individual target, but the process is subject to oversight by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
