On Monday a congressional vote to move 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) bill to the Senate succeeded in the House with a vote of 259-128. The bill now goes to the Senate without any provision requiring warrants on the surveillance of Americans who are in communications with foreign actors.
 
Ahead of the vote on Monday, the FISA bill passed on Friday in a vote of 273-147 without any provision to require that those using section 702 of FISA to get a warrant if they collect information on American citizens. Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) had proposed an amendment that would have made a warrant requirement included in the bill. 

FISA 702 is meant to be primarily used to gather intel on the communications of foreign individuals to detect threats, however, communications with Americans gets caught up in the mix when gathering the foreign intelligence. The FISA court has also found that FISA has been used outside the rules of the federal government over 278,000 times.

I don't think this is true @rangerrebew

I think the house voted to take up the bill, not pass it.
