Bill > HR67

This bill extends certain provisions from two previous laws, the USA PATRIOT Improvement and Reauthorization Act of 2005 and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, until February 29, 2012. Specifically, it continues the authority for roving electronic surveillance, which allows law enforcement to track individuals suspected of terrorism without needing to specify the exact location or device being used. Additionally, it extends a provision that broadens the definition of an "agent of a foreign power" to include individuals who are not U.S. citizens and engage in international terrorism or related preparatory acts, often referred to as the "lone wolf" provision, which was a significant expansion of surveillance powers following the September 11th attacks.
