Federal Communications Commission Reform Act

H.R. 646, the Federal Communications Commission Reform Act, proposes the creation of a temporary commission to evaluate and report on the organizational structure of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The study would focus on whether the agency’s current setup is outdated given modern advances in technology and whether the number of FCC commissioners should be reduced. For the average citizen, this bill aims to modernize how the government regulates internet, television, and phone services to ensure the agency operates more efficiently in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
