House Committee to Hold Markup on AM Radio Legislation

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Innovation, Data, and Commerce Subcommittee Chair Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) are holding a markup of three bills – including the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act – tomorrow (5/23) at 10:00 am ET. The markup is the key formal step a committee takes for the bill to advance to the floor. NAB president and CEO Curtis LeGeyt says, “With more than 310 bipartisan cosponsors in the House and Senate, the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act demonstrates overwhelming support in Congress for the critical role of AM radio in America’s public safety infrastructure. The nation’s broadcasters are grateful for Congress’s continued commitment to AM radio as they work to ensure this bill is passed and enacted into law for the benefit of all consumers.”
