Bill Summary
A BILL To repeal the USA PATRIOT Act.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "American Privacy Restoration Act," seeks to completely repeal the USA PATRIOT Act (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act), which was originally passed in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. By repealing the entire law, the bill would effectively restore all legal provisions to their state prior to October 25, 2001, essentially rolling back the extensive surveillance and law enforcement powers granted to government agencies by the original PATRIOT Act. The proposed legislation would return to pre-9/11 legal frameworks governing intelligence gathering, law enforcement investigations, and privacy protections, thereby significantly reducing the government's ability to conduct broad electronic surveillance, access personal records, and implement other controversial investigative techniques that were authorized by the original act.
