Broadcast VOICES Act incentivizes ownership of broadcast stations by socially disadvantaged individuals.
The Broadcast Varied Ownership Incentives for Community Expanded Service Act (Broadcast VOICES Act) aims to increase diversity of ownership in the broadcasting industry by incentivizing ownership by socially disadvantaged individuals. It mandates the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue certificates for sales of broadcast station interests that result in or preserve ownership by socially disadvantaged individuals. The FCC must also issue rules for these certificates, including a limit on the value of the interest and a minimum holding period.
