It's not a useless bill at all. I don't know about that specific provision, but this is actually the most aggressive anti-NSA bill yet. Its main purpose is actually to repeal both the Patriot Act and the FISA Amendments Act in full, and it would also require standard warrants for any surveillance request. But it also includes other provisions about backdoors and whatnot. You can read it here:

- Vivtek 13y agoOh! I hereby stand corrected. I should have said (and checked) that the provision as described is useless. I know there's reason for cynicism when it comes to Congress, but maybe I'm overdoing it. Thanks for the link!
