Requires new cars to include AM radio for emergency alerts.
This bill would make sure all new cars come with AM radio as standard equipment. This is important because AM radio is a key way to get emergency alerts to people. Car manufacturers would have to install these radios, and drivers would always have access to these broadcasts.
Today, there is no federal rule requiring new cars to have AM radio, and states can make their own rules. This bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to issue a rule mandating that new passenger vehicles include AM radio as standard equipment, and it would stop states and local governments from creating their own laws on this topic.
