House Passes Extension of Satellite TV Law

House Passes Extension of Satellite TV Law

Today the House passed H.R. 4691, which includes a one-month extension of the satellite home viewer act along with temporary extensions of several other laws that otherwise will expire on Sunday, February 28. The House passed a new version of the satellite television law last year, but the Senate did not. They agreed on an extension to February 28, but the Senate still has not acted on the legislation. Whether the Senate will agree to the new temporary extension is up in the air. Congress Daily (subscription required) reported late Thursday evening that as the clock ticked down, Senator Bunning (R-KY) was objecting to a unanimous consent agreement to pass the bill.
