AI Summary
This bill, the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, extends certain provisions of two previous laws, the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, until June 30, 2011. Specifically, it continues the authorization for roving electronic surveillance orders, which allow law enforcement to track individuals without specifying the exact location or device, and requests for business records and other tangible items. It also extends a provision that broadens the definition of an "agent of a foreign power" to include non-U.S. individuals involved in international terrorism or related preparatory acts, often referred to as the "lone wolf" provision, which is a critical tool in counter-terrorism efforts.
