Prohibits the use of federal funds, directly or indirectly, to support National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS). Requires the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to cancel existing direct and indirect funding to those organizations and changes grant rules so public radio and television stations cannot use federal grant money to pay dues to or buy programming from them. Federal agencies must identify and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, stop any direct or indirect funding to the listed organizations and review any remaining contracts or grants to ensure compliance. The law includes usual severability and savings clauses and clarifies it does not create a new private right to sue or alter OMB authority or agency budgets.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
