House Subcommittee Approves Draft FCC Reauthorization Bill

摘要

The House communications and technology subcommittee recently approved by voice vote an amended version of a discussion draft of legislation that would reauthorize the FCC for the first time in more than a quarter-century and implement a number of process reforms. The draft also includes the text of several bills that have already passed the House, and lawmakers said they want other issues addressed, such as increased funding to cover the repacking expenses of broadcasters, before the bill is marked up by the full Energy and Commerce Committee.
