A bipartisan bill aimed at requiring all new vehicles to include AM radio receivers has cleared the U.S. House of Representatives, advancing to the Senate for further consideration. The legislation seeks to ensure broad access to emergency alerts and local news for drivers, addressing concerns over declining AM radio availability in modern vehicles. Supporters argue the measure would strengthen public safety by maintaining a reliable communication channel during crises. The proposal now faces debate in the Senate, where its fate remains uncertain.
The AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act passed the U.S. House of Representatives and moves on to the U.S. Senate.
