What this bill would do

The "Stopping Propaganda Indoctrination Nationally Act," or "SPIN Act," seeks to amend the United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948. It prohibits the dissemination of certain information within the United States, its territories, or possessions. This information would instead be available in English at the Department of State. Access to this information is limited to Members of Congress and specific groups like press representatives, research students, and scholars.
