HR 8286 United States House · 118th Congress

Defund NPR Act of 2024

This bill prohibits all federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and any successor organization, including funds indirectly supporting NPR through public broadcast stations using federal money. It requires the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to redirect funds that would have been allocated to NPR into a debt reduction account for fiscal years 2024-2026. The bill directly affects public broadcasters receiving federal funds who currently use NPR programming. Key provisions ban federal support for NPR and mandate the transfer of redirected funds to reduce the national debt.
