House Passes Bill To End DHS Funding Shutdown
The House gave final approval to a measure on Thursday to end the longest agency shutdown in history. The legislation now heads to the president's desk. The move follows a period of legislative difficulty due to a narrow Republican majority in the House. The intelligence tool was set to expire at the end of the day on April 30. The extension follows controversy among House conservatives regarding privacy protections. The reconciliation process for related funding could be approved by June. House of Representatives approved a 45-day extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Speaker Johnson persuaded holdouts concerned about privacy protections to support the measure before the recess. The extension provides a temporary continuation of the surveillance authority.
