Summary

USA PATRIOT and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2005 - Repeals sunset dates of December 31, 2005 and 2006, for (and thus makes permanent) specified provisions of: (1) the USA PATRIOT Act (including provisions governing information sharing and the use of wiretaps, search warrants, and electronic surveillance, including under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA]); and (2) the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (including provisions redefining an "agent of a foreign power" to include persons who engage in international terrorism, and provisions modifying the prohibition against providing material support to terrorists). Requires a government attorney, within a reasonable time after disclosure of the contents of an intercepted communication, to file notice with a judge who authorized the interception identifying the entities to which the contents were disclosed. Makes FISA provisions regulating the duration of an order for electronic surveillance or a physical search applicable to surveillance targeted against an agent of a foreign power who is not a U.S. person. Limits to one year an order (or extension) for the use of pen registers and trap and trace devices where the applicant has certified that the information likely to be obtained is foreign intelligence information not concerning a U.S. person. Revises FISA provisions authorizing orders for for access to certain business records to: (1) require that the information likely to be obtained from tangible things is reasonably expected to be foreign intelligence information not concerning a U.S. person or relevant to an ongoing investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities; and (2) set forth procedures for challenging the legality of such an order by filing a petition. Provides for a three judge panel to review such petitions.
