Inside Radio - The countdown continues in the lame-duck session and yet support continues to build for a bill that would require AM receivers to be included in vehicle dashboards. Three more House members have signed on as co-sponsors for the proposed AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act, bringing the total number of supporters in the House to 271.
The latest additions to the list of co-sponsors include Reps. French Hill (R-AR), Bobby Scott (D-VA) and Tim Kenney (D-NY). If passed, the proposed AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act (H.R. 8449) will require the Secretary of Transportation to issue a rule requiring access to AM broadcast stations in motor vehicles. If they don’t, carmakers could be fined. Before the effective date of the rule, manufacturers who do not include AM would be required to put a warning label on vehicles. And carmakers would be prohibited from charging extra for AM.
