“Today, TVfreedom.org applauds the U.S. House Judiciary Committee for passing bipartisan legislation (H.R. 5036) to reauthorize the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA). We thank Chairmen Goodlatte and Coble for their leadership on this important issue and the full Committee’s actions to pass this noncontroversial legislation for the benefit of America’s television viewers.
