Bipartisan FISA Reform Bill Introduced: Lofgren-Davidson-Wyden-Lee Push Warrant Requirements

A bipartisan coalition introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act, which would require warrants for queries of US person data under Section 702, ban government purchase of data from commercial brokers without warrants, and clarify the scope of communications providers subject to the statute. Senators Durbin and Lee are expected to reintroduce the companion SAFE Act. The bill directly counters Senator Cotton's push for a clean 18-month extension without reforms.
