House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is preparing to bring a bill that would reauthorize section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for 2 years instead of 5 years to the House floor on Friday as well as allow a vote on legislation related to Fourth Amendment right to privacy.
The House Rules Committee on Thursday night voted 8-4 to adopt the rule for legislation that would renew section 702 and advance a group of proposed amendments including a warrant requirement.
If the rule passes on the floor, the House would begin voting on the proposed amendments. A rule providing for consideration of the FISA renewal bill with reforms was previously blocked on the House floor by 19 Republicans.
“We’re putting together an agreement around a two-year extension, same set of reforms, same deal with having Warren Davidson’s bill voted on separately,” said a House GOP leadership aide who declined to be identified. “The thinking is two years later Trump will be president, most likely, we think, we hope, and then at that point he can kind of address FISA as he sees fit.”
