Box 22201 Casper, WY 82602 307-261-6413   Issue Statements Sponsored Bills Committee Assignments Broadcast Decency Enforcement Act of 2005 Date Introduced: 01/26/05 Bill Number: S.193 Description: Many folks across the country have expressed concern over an increase of indecent programming on television and on the radio. In response I have co-sponsored this legislation that will increase the fines on broadcasters who air material that is ruled indecent by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). While we must be cautious not to infringe on an individual's freedom of speech, we must also preserve consumers’ rights to view programming that is free of indecent material and obscenities. « Back to Sponsored Bills Home | Privacy Policy | Text Only | Contact This Home Page is maintained by the office of Senator Craig Thomas.
