US House committee to markup FISA Section 702 reform bill

The U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary will hold a 6 Dec. markup session on a bill to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act would impose search warrant requirements for intelligence and law enforcement to review citizens' electronic communications and enact tighter restrictions for purchasing communications data from third parties.
