Blocks the FCC from punishing, threatening, or conditioning broadcast or license decisions based on the viewpoints expressed by licensees or their affiliates. It reinforces the FCC’s independence from political pressure, notes commissioners cannot be removed at will by the President, and reiterates that the agency has no power to censor radio communications.

The measure also bars the FCC from attaching viewpoint‑related conditions to certain transaction approvals. It preserves the FCC’s ability to act when content violates specified federal criminal laws or legally constitutes incitement, but otherwise prohibits using investigations or threats to intimidate licensees or suppress viewpoints.
