This bill, the Sunset Section 230 Act, would repeal section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934. It makes many conforming amendments across Federal statutes to remove or replace references to section 230 and to update related definitions. The text lists changes to the Communications Act, the Trademark Act of 1946, parts of title 17 and title 18 of the United States Code, the Controlled Substances Act, the Webb-Kenyon Act, title 28 and title 31 of the United States Code, the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act of 2022, and the National Telecommunications and Information Administration Organization Act. The repeal and the listed amendments would take effect two years after the date the bill is enacted.
