 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to grant a broadcast station license renewal application if the licensee has operated the station during the most recent license period: (1) in a manner which serves the public interest; and (2) without serious violations of related regulations or treaties. Directs the FCC to deny a renewal application and to consider applications for a construction permit for that station if the FCC determines that a broadcast station licensee has not met the requirements for license renewal.
