After gaining overwhelming bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress and clearing key committee hurdles in just a year’s time, the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act is now awaiting another critically important step before becoming law: a final vote by both chambers as part of legislation destined for President Joe Biden’s signature.
It could be a while, but that doesn’t mean Radio broadcasters should just sit and wait.
Single-issue legislation rarely advances on its own, instead it’s typically rolled into a larger must-pass spending bill that’s needed to keep key governmental operations running but usually doesn’t move until just ahead of Christmas break.
In the meantime, broadcasters should take every opportunity to implore members of Congress to make sure the bill clears the final hurdle.
