House Passes DTV Delay Act; Awaits President Obama’s Signature
The House has passed the DTV Delay Act, just days after its first efforts to move the DTV transition date to June 12 failed. The bill, taken up from the Senate after it was passed on unanimous consent, will allow broadcasters to choose to make the transition to all-digital broadcasts before the new June 12 transition date. The bill also permits public safety to begin using vacated spectrum to meet communications needs ahead of the transition date. You can read the full text of the DTV Delay Act, in PDF format,
