WASHINGTON, D.C. A powerful House committee on Wednesday passed a bill aimed at squelching broadcast indecency after amending the measure to increase fines sharply from earlier versions of the legislation.
Broadcasters would face fines of up to $500,000, with no limit on penalties for repeated violations, under the bill passed on a bipartisan 49-to-1 vote by the Commerce Committee. Earlier versions of the measure proposed a maximum fine of $275,000, which is 10 times the current limit, and a cap of $3 million for repeated violations.
