This proposed legislation, known as the "No Propaganda Act," seeks to completely cease federal financial support for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). It achieves this by amending the Communications Act of 1934 to explicitly prohibit any federal funds from being made available to or accepted by the CPB following the bill's enactment. Furthermore, the bill mandates the rescission of all unobligated federal balances that were previously appropriated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. These provisions collectively ensure a complete cessation of federal funding for the CPB, both prospectively and by clawing back unspent prior allocations.
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Appropriations, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
