AI Summary
This bill, the CALM Modernization Act of 2023, amends the existing CALM (Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation) Act to include video streaming services. The key provisions include: 1) establishing a rebuttable presumption that broadcasters, cable operators, and other distributors are in compliance if they use the required equipment and software, while allowing the FCC to consider various factors to determine if the presumption is rebutted; 2) requiring the FCC to issue regulations prohibiting video streaming services from transmitting commercial advertisements at a louder volume than the accompanying video content, with a potential extension of the effective date for up to one year for services facing significant financial hardship; and 3) directing the Government Accountability Office to report on the effectiveness of the CALM Act in moderating the loudness of commercials compared to video programming.
