This bill amends the Communications Act of 1934 to explicitly prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from taking action against broadcast licensees or other persons based on the viewpoints they broadcast or disseminate. It also prevents the FCC from imposing conditions related to viewpoints during its review and approval of transactions, such as license transfers or mergers. The legislation emphasizes the FCC's role as an independent agency and its existing statutory prohibition against censorship, aiming to prevent political pressure or intimidation from influencing broadcast content. Specifically, the bill clarifies that the FCC cannot revoke licenses or otherwise penalize individuals or entities for their broadcast viewpoints. However, it carves out important exceptions, ensuring the FCC retains its authority to act against violations of federal laws concerning lottery information, wire fraud, and obscenity . Furthermore, the bill does not impede the FCC's ability to address content that constitutes incitement under the First Amendment, thereby balancing free speech protections with existing legal standards.
