Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) has reintroduced H.R. 6422, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Transparency Act, which would mandate that the FCC publish the drafts of items to be considered in a public meeting 21 days ahead of that vote.  

The FCC already does it as a matter of practice under FCC chair Ajit Pai, one of a number of process reforms the chairman has undertaken. But Kinzinger wants to make it the law of the land for future chairmen and commissions.

“Today, I’m proud to reintroduce the FCC Transparency Act and further our mission to increase transparency, efficiency, and accountability at the Federal Communications Commission," said Kinzinger. "FCC chairman Ajit Pai has established some commonsense programs to increase transparency at the Commission, and my legislation will simply make some of the most important parts of those policies permanent."
