A bill to clarify United States policy with respect to limitations on the domestic dissemination of program material about the United States that was prepared or disseminated by the United States Agency for Global Media or its component networks.

This bill, titled the “Charlie Kirk Act,” would tighten and clarify limits on how the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) and its networks may prepare and distribute information about the United States, especially with regard to domestic use. The core idea is to keep most USAGM program material from being distributed inside the United States, and to create a long delay (12 years) before any material “prepared for abroad” can be released domestically through the National Archives. When domestic release is allowed, it would be controlled by the Archivist of the United States, who would charge fees to cover costs. The bill also incorporates a long-standing ban on domestic activities by USAGM, with limited exceptions for certain exchange programs. In short, it moves most USAGM content out of reach for immediate U.S. audiences and places future access behind archival procedures and fees.
