He added that the effects of the change would be subject to court and congressional oversight, and Congress would have a chance to revisit the law in 24 months.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan touted adjustments in the bill, which included a requirement that an FBI supervisor or attorney sign off on any queries of the Section 702 database for U.S. person identifiers, such as phone numbers or emails, as \u201cthe most robust set of reforms ever included in legislation to reauthorize Section 702.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the legislation \u2014 which included an unconventional mix of Democrats and Republicans \u2014 say those changes fell far short, but were unable to win adoption of six amendments that would achieve their aims. A Durbin amendment to prohibit warrantless access to the communications and other information on U.S. persons, the biggest adjustment that critics sought, fell on a 42-50 vote, marking the latest razor-thin margin for that proposal. A House amendment on a warrant requirement fell on a 212-212 vote.<\/p>\n<p>Sullivan said that President Joe Biden would swiftly sign the legislation.
