This bill would prohibit all federal funding from going to National Public Radio (NPR) and any successor organizations, either directly or indirectly. The ban would prevent public radio stations that receive federal funds from using that money to pay dues to NPR or purchase programming from the organization. The legislation affects NPR, public broadcasting stations that partner with NPR, and listeners who depend on NPR's programming distributed through public radio. For fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026, any federal funds that would have gone to NPR under existing law would instead be redirected to the U.S. Treasury to reduce the national debt. The bill was introduced in May 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
