HR 8091 United States House · 118th Congress

To prohibit Federal funding of National Public Radio and the use of Federal funds to acquire radio content.

HR 8091 would prohibit federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and related activities, directly affecting NPR and public radio stations that rely on federal support for their operations. The bill bans federal funds for NPR's core activities, including producing, distributing, and acquiring radio programs for noncommercial educational stations, as defined in the bill. It explicitly excludes funding restrictions for the U.S. Agency for Global Media and the Defense Media Activity. This policy change would redirect existing federal funding streams away from NPR's program development and content acquisition, altering how public broadcasting receives federal support.
