House Kills Its Own Rule to Advance 18-Month FISA 702 Extension; 10-Day Bridge Becomes Public Law No. 119-84
H.R. 8035 — a three-paragraph bill that would have extended the warrantless-surveillance authority through October 20, 2027, with no privacy reforms — never reached a floor vote. The House rejected its rule of consideration on April 17 after the Rules Committee blocked an amendment to require a warrant for U.S.-person queries. Congress then passed a 10-day bridge, H.R. 8322, which President Trump signed the next day.
