A longer-term extension of Title VII, which includes Section 702, was enacted into law by April 30, 2026.

House action immediately before enactment shows Congress approved a three-year extension of Section 702 authorities.

Congress.gov records H.R. 7888 as Public Law No. 118-49 and summarizes that the act reauthorizes Title VII of FISA for two years, including Section 702 authorities.

The 2024 enacted reauthorization extended Section 702/Title VII for two years, showing prior same-term progress but not the later longer-term 2026 extension described in the claim.

Public Law 118-49 amended the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 by replacing the April 19, 2024 sunset with a date two years after enactment of the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act.

Official bill text confirms the 2024 law extended Title VII/Section 702 only for two years from enactment.

Public Law 119-84 amended the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 to extend the authorities of title VII of FISA through April 30, 2026.

The first 2026 enactment was only a short stopgap through April 30, 2026, not a longer-term extension.

The Guardian reported that Congress passed a 45-day extension of Section 702 and that repeated efforts to renew the law for multiple years had been blocked by congressional deadlock.

Reputable reporting clarifies that the April 30 enacted renewal was short-term, not the longer-term extension Johnson sought.

Axios reported that the House rejected a short-term Section 702 extension on June 11, 2026, putting the authority on track to expire, after earlier bipartisan movement toward a longer-term extension stalled.

By mid-June 2026, later efforts failed rather than producing a longer-term enacted extension, though Johnson and House Republicans had pursued action.

Assessments

delivered same_term A for effort

Johnson promised to continue work toward a longer-term FISA Section 702 reauthorization after a short-term stopgap. The strongest evidence shows the Johnson-led House passed language extending Title VII/Section 702 from April 30, 2026 to April 30, 2029, and the President signed an extension into law on April 30, 2026. Because Johnson was Speaker and the House materially advanced the long-term vehicle during his same congressional term, the promise counts as delivered. The effort badge is warranted because the record also shows active legislative effort, including public advocacy and House passage.

A longer-term Section 702 reauthorization was enacted into law by April 30, 2026, and House action preceded enactment. Johnson publicly said the House would keep working toward a longer-term extension, so the promise was fulfilled during the same term and he had at least some direct legislative involvement as Speaker.

The promise was to reauthorize FISA Section 702 with a longer-term extension. The evidence shows Johnson publicly committed to pursuing a longer-term extension after a short-term extension, the House approved legislation extending Title VII authorities from April 30, 2026 to April 30, 2029, and the President signed the extension into law on April 30, 2026. Because Johnson was serving in federal office during the passage and the outcome occurred in the same term, this counts as delivered with same_term timing. The effort badge is warranted because he publicly advanced the effort as Speaker/House leader before enactment.
