Bill 118 HRES 451, also known as the "Recognizing the need for greater access to rural and agricultural media programming," is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to address the lack of access to media programming focused on rural and agricultural issues in the United States.
The bill highlights the importance of providing information and resources to rural communities, particularly those involved in agriculture, in order to promote economic development and sustainability. It recognizes that many rural areas lack access to traditional media outlets, making it difficult for residents to stay informed about important issues affecting their communities.
If passed, this bill would allocate funding to support the development and distribution of rural and agricultural media programming. This could include television and radio programs, online content, and other forms of media that focus on topics such as farming, ranching, rural development, and agricultural policy.
Overall, Bill 118 HRES 451 aims to bridge the gap in media coverage for rural and agricultural communities, ensuring that residents have access to the information they need to make informed decisions and participate in the democratic process.
