Congress spoke of indecency but no new law
Increases fat fines for improper shipments was a sure thing to some lawmakers, likely to pass Congress in less time than Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction.But 18 months after Baring his chest in the Super Bowl, Congress has yet to authorize migration, even though most lawmakers publicly support the idea.
The Legislature overwhelmingly in February to increase the current ceiling of $ 32,500 just for indecency to $ 500,000. Laws similar past the house during the last year, but once again stalled, it is the Senate.
While those who demand a big increase in censorship is a tool for the government are encouraging, groups fighting obscenity on television and radio are frustrated.
This should occur, a long, long time, “said L. Brent Bozell, president of the Council of parents, a TV entertainment industry group watchdog. “The house is to continue to do their job and the Senate not to continue to do their job.”
Last year, examined the accounts of the Senate has taken place and, finally, scuttled Senator Ernest “Fritz” Hollings, DS.C., wanted the legislation a requirement that the Federal Communications Commission study violence television. This year’s theme was bottling the Senate Commerce Committee.
Lanier Swann, Director of Government Relations of Concerned Women for America, said the jury chairman, Senator Ted Stevens, R-Alaska, “must be the answer for the reason he did not move the front of these if it’s something the American public would really well. ”
Stevens did not say why the two bills pending in his indecency, or an advisory committee. He opted for greater indecency provisions for broadcasters, and has more vulgarity via cable. His advisers say it is not the problem is ignored for handymen and its own laws.
