Protecting Americans from Unauthorized Surveillance Act

The Protecting Americans from Unauthorized Surveillance Act is a legislative proposal that aims to address concerns regarding government monitoring and data collection. Introduced by Representative Ted Lieu, the bill would likely establish stricter guidelines or oversight mechanisms for how federal agencies conduct surveillance. By focusing on unauthorized activities, the legislation seeks to ensure that any monitoring of citizens aligns with constitutional protections and existing legal frameworks. If enacted, the bill would require a presidential signature to become law. It proposes to impact everyday citizens by potentially increasing the privacy of their digital communications and personal data. Because the bill has been referred to both the Judiciary and Intelligence committees, it would undergo a rigorous review process regarding its impact on national security and civil liberties. At this stage, the bill is a proposal and has not yet been scheduled for a vote or committee action.
