There’s new legislation moving forward in Washington that’s designed to make sure you can continue to hear the news in your car on an AM radio.
The House Energy & Commerce Committee voted 50-1 to pass the AM Radio For Every Vehicle Act.
It’s legislation aimed at stopping plans from automakers to remove free AM radio receivers from cars and force listeners to pay for all audio services. Supporters say AM Radio is the backbone of the Emergency Alert System, and a critical line of defense against weather and other disasters.
A last-minute change to the committee’s action, however, could sunset the law in eight years.
