CALM Modernization Act of 2023
The CALM Modernization Act of 2023 updates the law requiring consistent audio levels between TV commercials and programming to include video streaming services. It directs the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to create a new rule within one year that prevents streaming services from making commercial audio louder than the surrounding video content, similar to existing TV requirements. The rule would take effect 180 days after publication but allows up to one year of delay for streaming services facing significant financial hardship. The bill also mandates a government report to evaluate the current law's effectiveness in moderating commercial loudness.
