Assessing the Field of Section 702 Reform (and Anti-Reform) Bills

As 2023 comes to a close, the debate over reauthorizing Section 702 remains heated. However, because of Congress’s disappointing and unnecessary “temporary” extension of Section 702 as part of the National Defense Reauthorization Act (NDAA), there is likely to be no further movement on the reform debate until early 2024—that is, if the administration does not get a new, year-long certification further punting reform debates into 2025. Ahead of further debate, EPIC assesses the current proposals for reauthorizing Section 702.
