Wyden-Lee Introduce Government Surveillance Reform Act: Warrant Requirements and Data Broker Ban
A bipartisan coalition (Wyden, Lee, Davidson, Lofgren) introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act requiring warrants before accessing Americans' 702-collected communications and banning warrantless government purchase of data broker records. The bill also repeals the 2024 RISAA expansion that broadened the definition of electronic communications service providers. This is the third major 702 vehicle alongside Cotton's clean extension and the Lee-Durbin SAFE Act.
