What’s happening with AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025?
The AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act of 2025, known as H.R. 979, has been on the Union Calendar since November 11, 2025. The full House of Representatives must now vote on the bill, but floor time is limited and leadership has not scheduled a vote since November 11, 2025. While moving out of committee is a significant step that most bills do not achieve, the lack of action for seven months shows how difficult it is to secure a final vote.
