This bill would shut down the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board and prevent the federal government from creating a similar organization in the future. The legislation prohibits the use of any federal funds to establish or operate any entity with substantially similar functions to the board. The bill does not include specific funding amounts or implementation timelines, as it is primarily a prohibition measure. The legislation affects the Department of Homeland Security and any federal agencies that might otherwise attempt to create comparable disinformation-focused offices. The bill was introduced by Representative Stephanie Bice and referred to the House Committee on Homeland Security in July 2023.
