Senate Bill Extends Section 702 to June 12 in Single Day; House Approves 261-111 With 85 Democrats Opposed
S. 4465 — three operative lines, no privacy reforms — was introduced, passed both chambers, and signed by President Trump on April 30, 2026, hours before Section 702 was set to expire. It is the second short bridge in two weeks and pushes the new sunset to June 12. House Democrats split 94-85 in opposition; 26 Republicans joined them; Rep. Andy Biggs, the warrant-amendment author at the center of the prior fight, did not vote.
