Bill > HR7364

This bill, the CABLE Leadership Act, amends the Communications Act of 1934 to establish deadlines for cable franchising authorities to act on requests for new franchises and non-emergency modifications or upgrades to cable systems. Specifically, it requires the franchising authority to approve or deny a request for a new franchise within 120 days, and to grant or deny a non-emergency request for system modifications or upgrades within 90 days. If the franchising authority fails to meet these deadlines, the request is deemed granted. The bill also outlines when a request is considered complete and received by the franchising authority.
