WASHINGTON, D.C. — The U.S. House of Representatives voted 235 to 191 on Tuesday to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for three years, adding new oversight measures while sending the bill to the Senate ahead of a Thursday night deadline. Forty-two Democrats supported the measure and 22 Republicans opposed it.

The extension does not include a warrant requirement for searches of Americans' data, a provision sought for years by lawmakers in both parties. The bill requires federal law enforcement to seek approval from attorneys before targeted reviews of Americans' information under Section 702, and each query must include a written justification submitted to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Misuse could result in criminal penalties of up to five years in prison. The three-year extension would also require the FBI to submit monthly reports to oversight officials justifying searches of Americans' data, ensure that members of Congress and their staff have access to Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court proceedings, and expand criminal penalties for abusing the law.

Speaker Mike Johnson struggled for weeks to win over privacy-minded Republicans, and GOP defections defeated proposals for five-year and 18-month extensions earlier in the month. A procedural vote to advance the measure was held open for about two hours as leaders sought to flip holdouts.

"Two-thirds of the president's daily national security briefing comes from intelligence collected by that statute. We cannot allow it to go dark," Johnson said at a news conference.

Rep. Chip Roy opposed the bill during floor debate, criticizing the warning issued by intelligence agencies. "The intel community always just comes in and says, 'People will die if you do this,'" Roy said. "Well, I'm sorry. A lot of Americans died to give us and protect that Fourth Amendment right that we don't have government looking at our stuff."

Section 702, first authorized in 2008, allows U.S. intelligence agencies to intercept the electronic communications of foreign nationals located outside the United States without a warrant. Nearly 350,000 targets have their communications collected under the authority each year, and incidental collection can include calls, texts and emails between Americans and foreign targets.

House Republicans attached a provision banning any future central bank digital currency to the extension bill. The digital currency provision will not pass in the Senate, said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D. Congress approved a 10-day extension of Section 702 ahead of its original April 20 expiration. The bill requires approval by the Senate and signature from President Donald Trump to become law.
