Essentially, Accuweather has paid Sen. Rick Santorum to put this bill

freely available weather offline.



I spent a fair amount of time last night trying to locate a copy of the
bill. Couldn't even locate the bill number. If the language used in the
article you referenced is correct, however, the NWS would not be able to
provide info to Accuweather either. A lot of the NWS could effectively
be disbanded; it wouldn't have to do anything that a private company
also does.

I typed "weather" into THOMAS and the second bill that comes up is S.
786 The National Weather Services Duties Act of 2005.
