	Senate Bill S.2881 Clears Senate Committee 

	
	Indianapolis - Mar 25, 2010 - The Senate bill introduced by
Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) titled "The FCC Commissioners' Technical
Resource Enhancement Act" has cleared the Senate Committee on Science,
Commerce and Transportation. Only one change was made to the bill to
include provisions of Senate bill S.3042, a bill also introduced by Sen.
Snowe. S.3042 provides for a study by the National Academy of Sciences
on the technical policy decisions and technical personnel at the Federal
Communications Commission. The bill now moves back to the Senate.
	 
	The bill's basic purpose is to provide greater technical
resources to FCC Commissioners. A companion resolution was introduced in
the House of Representatives by Jerry McNerney (D-CA). McNerney's
resolution, R.4809, was the result of the Society of Broadcast Engineers
visiting offices of House members in March to generate support of the
issue.
	 
	Barry Thomas, CPBE CBNT, chairman of the SBE Government
Relations Committee, said, "This legislation advances one of the
Society's most long-standing and important goals, and will help ensure
that broadcasting technical regulation is based on sound technical
reasoning."
	 
	SBE President Vinny Lopez, CEV, added, "We expect this bill to
continue on its fast track through Congress. The SBE encourages all
broadcasters -- not just SBE members -- to contact their Senators or
Representatives and urge support for this important legislation."
	 
	The Society of Broadcast Engineers is the professional
organization of television and radio engineers and those in related
fields. SBE has more than 5,500 members in 115 chapters across the
United States and in Hong Kong. SBE members can also be found in more
than 20 other countries. Most chapters meet monthly and offer
educational programs and an opportunity to network with other engineers.
SBE offers the largest and most recognized certification program for
broadcast engineers, operators and technicians, with more than 5,000
certifications currently active. The SBE also offers a growing number of
on-line and traditional educational courses and seminars for the
technical broadcasting community.
