Bill > AJR27

This Joint Resolution urges the United States Congress to pass and the President to sign into law the Limiting Internet and Blanket Electronic Review of Telecommunications and Email Act, also known as the LIBERT-E Act, to protect Americans' privacy. The LIBERT-E Act aims to restrict the federal government's ability, particularly under the Patriot Act, to collect information on individuals not connected to an investigation, preventing broad surveillance or "dragnets." It also calls for greater transparency by requiring that secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court opinions be made available to Congress and that summaries of these opinions be accessible to the public, striking a balance between national security and individual privacy rights.
