Bipartisan Government Surveillance Reform Act Offers Alternative to Clean FISA 702 Extension

Senators Wyden and Lee, with Reps. Davidson and Lofgren, introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act — the only bipartisan, bicameral bill offering a reform alternative to the White House's clean 18-month FISA 702 extension. The bill would require warrants for FBI searches of Section 702 data, close the data broker loophole, restore FISC oversight, and reauthorize for four years rather than eighteen months. It competes directly with Cotton's clean extension and the SAFE Act, fragmenting the reauthorization landscape further as the April 20 sunset approaches.
