Summary
The bill creates a mandatory advertising set‑aside, directing at least 30% of each agency’s total ad budget to eligible local news organizations, or 50% of any in‑state spend that falls below that threshold. It also establishes a list‑keeping consortium, reporting requirements, and an exemption process, aiming to bolster struggling local news while preserving editorial independence.
