Ending Federal Funding for Public Broadcasting Corporation (CPB)

This bill completely stops all federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which supports public radio and television stations like PBS and NPR. This change means public media must secure alternative funding, potentially affecting the availability and scope of educational, cultural, and news programming. The act also cancels any unspent federal money previously allocated to CPB from recent budget years.
Key points
Total prohibition on providing federal funds to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
CPB is barred from accepting any federal government funds after the law is enacted.
Unspent federal appropriations previously designated for CPB from 2022, 2023, and 2024 are rescinded (canceled).
