What legislation was enacted to amend parts of the USA PATRIOT Act?

The USA Freedom Act was enacted to amend parts of the USA PATRIOT Act, particularly in response to concerns about privacy and government surveillance. Its main purpose was to limit the bulk collection of data and increase transparency regarding government requests for information, particularly with respect to the metadata of phone calls. The legislation aimed to safeguard individual privacy rights while still allowing law enforcement to conduct effective investigations.
