No Propaganda Act
This bill, S 5427 (No Propaganda Act), cuts all federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) starting on the day it becomes law. It amends the Communications Act to prohibit CPB from receiving any federal funds after enactment and rescinds unobligated balances from recent appropriations bills (2022, 2023, and 2024). The key provision prevents CPB from accepting federal money, effectively ending its primary source of government support. The bill does not alter CPB's programming or operations but directly affects its budget and funding structure.
