Bill > HR1456

This bill, the Stopping Communist Regimes from Engaging in Edits Now Act (SCREEN Act), aims to limit the use of funds from the Department of State for the production of films by U.S. companies if certain conditions are met. Specifically, the bill requires U.S. companies to provide a list of films they have submitted to the Chinese government or the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for evaluation regarding screening in China, and to agree not to alter the content of these films in response to or in anticipation of a request by the Chinese government or CCP. The bill also prohibits the provision of federal support or funding for the production of films that are co-produced with entities in China that are subject to content restrictions by the Chinese government or CCP, or for films where the U.S. company has previously altered content in response to or in anticipation of a request by the Chinese government or CCP.
