The AM For Every Vehicle Act has secured its passage through the US House of Representatives, reaching the crucial threshold of 218 voting co-sponsors. Led by Rep. Josh Gottheimer, the bill mandates AM radio inclusion in all US vehicles, receiving support from 224 sponsors, including four non-voting members. Recent additions, including Reps. Marcy Kaptur, Brandon Williams, John Rose, and Garret Graves, ensured a simple majority vote. The bill gained momentum with bipartisan backing, drawing praise from the NAB and Ohio Association of Broadcasters for recognizing AM radio’s vital role in emergencies. Meanwhile, the Senate version, led by Sens. Ted Cruz and Ed Markey, is just three co-sponsors shy of its own majority. Challenges remain, with Senator Rand Paul’s opposition and concerns over electric vehicle subsidies. Despite hurdles, public support for the Act is evident, with over 400,000 communications directed to lawmakers. Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg has expressed readiness to implement the Act upon congressional approval.
