The Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, specifically Section 309, establishes new procedures for the retention of incidentally acquired communications. This legislation permits the acquisition and retention of non-public electronic communications for up to five years, even without a court order, if they involve United States persons. Critics argue the bill legitimizes existing bulk collection practices and provides legal cover for the intelligence community to monitor domestic data.
