Senate Votes to Extend Patriot Act

February 15, 2011 by Daniel

The US Senate has just voted to extend provisions for the Patriot Act, following the House vote from Monday. The vote extends certain provisions for 90 days that were set to expire at the end of February.

FoxNews reports:

In addition to roving wiretaps for multiple electronic devices, the provisions deal with court-approved access to business records and surveillance of non-U.S. “lone wolf” suspects without known ties to terrorist groups. Senate Democrats are working on a multi-year extension plan that tightens oversight of the measures.
