senate 01/30/2025 - 119th Congress
We're introducing the "Stop Sports Blackouts Act" to ensure fair treatment for consumers experiencing video programming blackouts. Our goal is to require providers to offer rebates to subscribers when agreed-upon programming isn't available due to contract disputes, ensuring people get what they pay for without interruptions.
