From the actual bill: intelligence.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?D…

The bill enhances accountability for FBI and other government officials who fail to comply with the laws and rules governing FISA. For example, the bill:

Holds FBI executive leaders accountable for FISA non-compliance, including by withholding promotions or compensation. Ensures accountability for FBI employees who conduct noncompliant U.S. person queries, including zero tolerance for willful misconduct and escalating consequences for unintentional non-compliance. Creates new specific criminal liability and administrative penalties and increases existing penalties for government officials who engage in a range of intentional misconduct related to FISA, such as leaking FISA-derived information or making a false declaration before the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
