Bill overview
This bill, the Satellite Television Access Reauthorization Act of 2019 (STAR Act), aims to keep current rules in place regarding how cable and satellite providers can receive and retransmit signals from local television stations. Specifically, it extends the authorization for these practices, currently set to expire, for an additional five years. This extension ensures that viewers continue to have access to local broadcast television programming through satellite antennas. The bill modifies specific sections of the Communications Act and the Copyright Act to achieve this.
