This bill would change the Communications Act of 1934 to stop federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). It would add a rule saying no federal funds may be given to the Corporation after the law is enacted. It also changes CPB rules so the Corporation may not accept federal funds after the enactment date. The bill rescinds (takes back) any unobligated balances that were available under the heading "Corporation for Public Broadcasting" in three recent appropriation laws listed in the bill. A small technical change is made to limit a referenced allowance to amounts received before the bill's enactment.
If this bill becomes law, the CPB could not receive federal money after the law starts. Any CPB money that was set aside but not yet used from the three named appropriations would be rescinded. No publicly available information on direct effects for viewers, local stations, or staff is included in the bill text.
