Johnson tees up 2-year FISA extension and separate vote on Fourth Amendment right to privacy bill

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is preparing to bring a bill that would reauthorize section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for 2 years instead of 5 years to the House floor on Friday as well as allow a vote on legislation related to Fourth Amendment right to privacy.

The House Rules Committee on Thursday night voted 8-4 to adopt the rule for legislation that would renew section 702 and advance a group of proposed amendments including a warrant requirement.

If the rule passes on the floor, the House would begin voting on the proposed amendments. A rule providing for consideration of the FISA renewal bill with reforms was previously blocked on the House floor by 19 Republicans.
