Bill > S746

This bill, known as the "Defund NPR Act," aims to completely prohibit federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and any of its potential successor organizations. Specifically, the bill would amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prevent any federal funds from being used directly or indirectly to support NPR, including through payments of dues or the purchase of programming by public broadcast stations using federal funds. The legislation requires that after its enactment, no federal money can be provided to NPR or any organization that might replace it. Additionally, the bill makes technical amendments to remove references to NPR from existing sections of the Communications Act, effectively scrubbing the organization from previous legislative language. The bill represents a significant legislative effort to eliminate all federal financial support for NPR, which has been a subject of political debate regarding government funding of public media.
