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.
The No Propaganda Act would eliminate all federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which oversees PBS and NPR. The bill amends the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit any federal funds from being made available to the Corporation after the bill's enactment and prevents the Corporation from accepting federal money going forward. The legislation also rescinds any unspent federal funds previously appropriated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting through appropriations acts from 2022, 2023, and 2024. This bill would directly affect public television and radio stations across the country that depend on federal funding to support their operations and programming. The measure was introduced in April 2024 and was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Appropriations.
