quote [ The objections from Amash and others arose from language in the bill's Section 309, which includes a phrase to allow for "the acquisition, retention, and dissemination" of U.S. phone and Internet data. That passage will give unprecedented statutory authority to allow for the surveillance of private communications that currently exists only under a decades-old presidential decree, known as Executive Order 12333. ]

From my understanding of this law, it basically says "It's OK, we know you monitor all citizens' communications and pass them to local law enforcement, just please don't store them for more than 5 years... unless you want to store it for longer, up to you." Which will be interpreted as giving carte blanche authority to store all citizens' communications.
What changes is that this is no longer a secret law, but now a law published on the books for all citizens and the entire world to see.
