Bill > S519

This bill, known as the "No Propaganda Act", proposes to completely eliminate federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a nonprofit organization that supports public television and radio stations across the United States. The bill would amend the Communications Act of 1934 by prohibiting any federal funds from being made available to the CPB on or after the bill's enactment date. Additionally, the bill would modify the CPB's existing legal framework to explicitly prevent the organization from accepting any federal government funds. The legislation would also rescind any unobligated funds previously allocated to the CPB in recent appropriations acts from 2022 to 2024, effectively cutting off all current and future federal financial support. The bill represents a significant potential change in the funding model for public broadcasting in the United States, which has traditionally relied on a mix of federal, state, local, and private funding sources to support non-commercial media programming.
