In March 2006, the Senate voted to reauthorize the 16 expiring provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act. While the bill made 14 provisions permanent, it put a 2009 expiration date on the provisions allowing “roving wiretaps” and access to business records. The vote came after the Bush administration agreed to allow three minor changes to the package, including a change that would allow recipients to challenge the gag order on a business records request.
