Web Briefing: The Patriot Act was renewed by President Bush in March, 2006. The original Patriot Act was enacted shortly after 9-11 and it immediately raised concerns that enabling the FBI to make special requests for vaguely defined "business records" could be interpreted as allowing access to medical or mental health records Lobbying efforts were made by the APA and others to strengthen protection of medical and mental health records Were they successful?
