Thursday, U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) applauded the House of Representatives’ passage of the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act.
The legislation, which is cosponsored by Young, would direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to require automakers to maintain AM broadcast radio in their new vehicles at no additional charge.
“I applaud the House passage of this bill and encourage the Senate to vote on it soon. AM radio plays a vital role in preserving public safety across Indiana. By delivering important weather updates, local news, and emergency and disaster response information, this bill will ensure Hoosiers, especially those in rural areas, continue to have access to this critical communication tool,” said Senator Young.
The legislation has amassed 60 cosponsors in the Senate. Legislative text can be found here.
