No Propaganda Act
HR 1211, the "No Propaganda Act," prohibits all future federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) starting on the bill's enactment date. It amends the Communications Act to block federal money from being allocated to CPB and requires the organization to stop accepting such funds. The bill also rescinds unobligated funds previously allocated to CPB in 2023 and 2024 appropriations acts. This directly affects CPB, which relies on federal funding for public broadcasting services like PBS and NPR. The policy change ends all direct federal financial support for CPB without altering its operational structure.
