Bill > HR1595

This bill seeks to prohibit any federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR), a non-profit media organization. Specifically, the bill would amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prevent federal funds from being used to support NPR directly or indirectly, including through payments of dues or purchasing programming by public broadcast stations using federal funds. The prohibition would apply to NPR as it currently exists and any future successor organizations. The bill also makes technical amendments to remove references to NPR in existing sections of the Communications Act, such as deleting mentions of NPR from sections discussing public broadcasting funding and support. By targeting federal funding, the bill aims to financially isolate NPR and prevent taxpayer money from supporting the organization, which some legislators view as having a biased or inappropriate approach to news and programming.
