The US House of Representatives voted 278-136 Wednesday to approve a bill that would reauthorize several soon-to-expire laws that govern surveillance by federal law enforcement. The legislation has been a hard-fought compromise among lawmakers from both parties with differing priorities about privacy protections, reforms of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) courts, and allowing continued use of wiretapping and similar tools important to combat terrorism and other foreign threats.

Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY), the bill’s sponsor, stated on the floor of the House that “our job, as members of Congress, is to provide [a] critical check—to claw back authorities that go too far, and to press for changes that protect our civil liberties to the maximum extent possible.” The bill passed on Wednesday, he said, “is by no means a perfect bill. There are many other changes to FISA that I would have liked to have seen here—but this bill includes important reforms.”

The bill, titled the USA FREEDOM Reauthorization Act of 2020, would among other things limit the collection of call detail records by the NSA and the use of physical location data. It also makes changes to the process by which FISA courts review surveillance warrant applications.

Senators from both political parties have expressed support for the bill, which will now head to their chamber. But with the surveillance programs set to expire on Sunday, it is unclear whether the Senate will pass this version of the deal in time or end up further postponing approval of such a reform package.
