The House will vote this week on the House Commerce Committee’s legislation (HR-4572) to reauthorize the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act, the committee said Friday. The video revamp provisions that House Commerce inserted in its STELA draft will move forward in the legislation being considered, it said. The House Judiciary Committee had cleared a clean STELA bill earlier this year as well (HR-5036). “The bill the House will vote on will be HR-4572 as passed by the Energy and Commerce Committee, with the language of HR-5036 added as a second title to the bill,” the committee said. Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton, R-Mich., and Communications Subcommittee Chairman Greg Walden, R-Ore., released a joint statement saying “the legislation makes targeted reforms to the video marketplace while ensuring that satellite service continues for those who rely on it as their best option to receive broadcast and other programming.”
