What the document says
“Amounts made available for ``Corporation for Public Broadcasting'' for fiscal year 2027 by Public Law 119-4 are rescinded.”
Paragraph (20)(B), the last of the rescissions. It rescinds the amounts made available for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for fiscal year 2027 by Public Law 119-4. Like subparagraph (A) it names no dollar figure and is not limited to unobligated balances. Public Law 119-4 is not indexed here, so the figure it carried is not recorded.
What the document actually says
“Amounts made available for ``Corporation for Public Broadcasting'' for fiscal year 2027 by Public Law 119-4 are rescinded.”
That sentence, in plain words
Money for public radio and TV is taken back again. This time it was set for the budget year 2027.
What this is about
Congress often sets this money two years ahead. Both years are taken here. No dollar amount is given.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
