- Sec. 22: Repeal of authority for the resumption of abouts collection: Removes the language that allowed abouts collection to resume under section 702 and strikes related reporting provisions and a subsection of the FISA Amendments Reauthorization Act of 2017.
- Sec. 23: Inclusion of counternarcotics in definition of foreign intelligence: Adds international production, distribution, or financing of certain illicit drugs and their precursors to the definition of foreign intelligence.
