After a brief rebellion by conservative privacy advocates, the House ultimately voted to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) on Friday.

The vote, which passed 273-147, saw bipartisan support, with both Republicans and Democrats backing the legislation.

Earlier, a group of 19 conservative lawmakers had blocked the bill in protest, but a compromise was reached with Speaker Mike Johnson.

Under the deal, the reauthorization period was reduced to two years instead of five, giving former President Trump a chance to address FISA if he returns to office, NBC News reported.

Additionally, the agreement included a vote on amendments requiring warrants for certain surveillance activities.

The bill now moves to the Senate ahead of the April 19 deadline for renewal. Johnson is expected to discuss FISA with Trump during their meeting at Mar-a-Lago.
