The Trachtenberg Office attended a briefing on H.R. 3745, the Community Access Preservation (CAP) Act, introduced by Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis).
The CAP Act will permit PEG Fees collected from cable providers to be used for PEG operating as well as capital expenses. Current law limits use of these funds to capital expenditures only. The CAP act also requires that PEG funding be maintained at historical levels while Congress studies the effective of statewide franchising on PEG. The PEG Network briefing also addressed creating effective performance measures for PEG programming and effective ways to use social media to reach new audiences.
The briefing was held at the Montgomery College Administrative Offices.
