NPR and PBS Act

United States119th CongressHR-2443House of Representatives
Updated: Mar 27, 2025

Summary

This legislative proposal, titled the "No Partisan Radio and Partisan Broadcasting Services Act" , seeks to eliminate all federal taxpayer funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Upon its enactment, the bill would explicitly prohibit any federal funds from being made available, either directly or indirectly, to these two organizations. This prohibition also extends to any successor organizations that may be formed from NPR or PBS. A key provision ensures that public broadcast stations cannot use federal funds to pay dues to or purchase programming from NPR or PBS, effectively cutting off indirect federal support channels.
