The measure would have extended the government's ability to collect communications of non-U.S. persons located outside the United States without a warrant.
702 Section 702 was first enacted in 2008 and has been renewed multiple times since. The program permits the collection of data from U.S. technology companies when the target is reasonably believed to be a non-U.S. person abroad.
Vote outcome and objections The vote failed after some members raised concerns over a proposed warrant requirement for queries involving U.S. persons. The authority is set to expire at the end of 2026 unless Congress acts.
