The Local Radio Freedom Act, which seeks to get commitments from members of Congress to prevent the imposition of a performance royalty for music played on local radio stations, has been re-introduced in both chambers, initially with the support of 77 Representatives and eight senators. The nonbinding resolution was introduced this year by Representatives Kathy Castor (D-FL) and Steve Womack (R-AR) in the House and Senators Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and John Barrasso (R-WY) in the Senate.
