Judiciary Version Of STELA Set For June 19 Markup

The Senate Judiciary Committee is not wasting any time marking up its "clean" version of the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act (STELA).

It has set June 19 as the date for the markup hearing. That markup will be an opportunity for senators to add amendments. The Senate bill (S. 2454) was introduced as essentially a straight, five-year, reauthorization of the law, which expires at the end of 2014 unless it is renewed.
