Defund NPR Act
The Defund NPR Act would prohibit all federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and any successor organization. This means public broadcast stations receiving federal funds could no longer use those funds to pay for NPR programming or dues. The bill would take effect upon enactment, eliminating federal financial support for NPR through any channel. It directly affects NPR and public broadcasters that rely on federal funds for programming partnerships.
