About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · July 20, 2023
Referred to the Subcommittee on Oversight, Investigations, and Accountability.
This bill terminates the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board and prohibits the federal government from using any funds to create a similar entity in the future. The legislation targets what supporters view as government overreach into free speech matters by eliminating the board, which was established to address false information related to homeland security. The bill affects the Department of Homeland Security and any future attempts to establish comparable disinformation-focused initiatives within that agency. There is no specific funding amount mentioned because the bill focuses on eliminating an existing program rather than allocating new resources. The bill was introduced in July 2023 by a group of House Republicans and was referred to the Committee on Homeland Security.
