Stop Sports Blackouts Act mandates rebates for video programming blackouts.
The Stop Sports Blackouts Act amends the Communications Act of 1934 to require the Federal Communications Commission to create regulations for rebates for video programming blackouts. Specifically, it mandates that providers, including cable operators and direct broadcast satellite service providers, issue rebates to subscribers when they are denied access to agreed-upon video programming due to negotiations. The bill also tasks the FCC with determining the appropriate rebate amount.
