Competing FISA Section 702 renewal bill emerges

The Record reports members of the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence introduced legislation to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The bipartisan proposal extends Section 702 through 2035, does not call for warrants to conduct searches and requires U.S. agencies to increase Section 702 activity reporting. Many provisions of the bill strike contrasts to a privacy-focused bipartisan proposal from U.S. House and Senate lawmakers introduced earlier in November.
