URCA issues this consultation document to present crucial revisions to the Code of Practice for Content Regulation in The Bahamas (the Code) These revisions are focused on applicability, political broadcasts, advertising and sponsorships, access services, complaint handling processes, and emerging technologies (ET).

ET are new transformative, innovative tools characterised by radical novelty, rapid growth, and often disruptive nature, significantly altering industries, economies, societies and business norms and practices.

The proposed changes result from the 2023 coregulatory consultative URCA-moderated review of the Code by the Content Regulation Industry Group (CRIG), established under section 55 of the Comms Act.

URCA invites members of the public, licensees, stakeholders, and other interested parties to participate fully in this consultation process under Part IX of the Comms Act and Clause 1.5 of the Code.
