The proposed legislation, known as the American Privacy Restoration Act , seeks to entirely repeal the USA PATRIOT Act . This action would eliminate the provisions of the PATRIOT Act, which was enacted in response to the September 11th attacks and expanded government surveillance and law enforcement powers. A key consequence of this repeal would be the restoration of all legal provisions previously amended by the PATRIOT Act to their original text as they existed on October 25, 2001 . The bill's intent is to roll back these changes, thereby enhancing individual privacy protections by reverting to earlier legal standards.
