No Propaganda Act
United States119th CongressHR-1211House of Representatives
Updated: Feb 11, 2025
Summary
This proposed legislation, known as the "No Propaganda Act," seeks to completely cease federal financial support for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). It achieves this by amending the Communications Act of 1934 to explicitly prohibit any federal funds from being made available to or accepted by the CPB following the bill's enactment. Furthermore, the bill mandates the rescission of all unobligated federal balances that were previously appropriated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024. These provisions collectively ensure a complete cessation of federal funding for the CPB, both prospectively and by clawing back unspent prior allocations.
