No Propaganda Act

This bill, S 519 (No Propaganda Act), prohibits the federal government from providing funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) after its enactment. It amends the Communications Act to ban federal funds for CPB starting on the bill's effective date and rescinds unobligated balances from recent appropriations (2022-2024) designated for CPB. The key provision directly affects CPB, which distributes funds to public media entities like PBS and NPR, requiring it to seek alternative funding sources. The bill makes no changes to CPB's operations beyond ending federal financial support.
