House Panel Plans Thursday Vote on FCC Funding That Bars it From Net Neutrality Work

The House Appropriations Committee plans a Thursday vote on the Financial Services Subcommittee’s FY 2025 funding bill, which proposes increasing the FCC’s allocation over FY 2024 and decreasing funds for the FTC. The funding bill, which House Appropriations Financial Services advanced last week, includes riders barring the FCC from using its allocation to implement its net neutrality and digital discrimination orders (see 2406050067). The measure gives the FCC $416 million for FY25, including almost $12.7 million for its independent Office of the Inspector General. It includes $388.7 million for the FTC. The markup session will begin at 9 a.m. in 2359 Rayburn, House Appropriations said Friday.
