Rep. George Latimer (D -NY- 16) has agreed to cosponsor the AM Radio For Every Vehicle Act (H.R. 979). He was a cosponsor in the last session of Congress.
To date, there are 298 members of the U.S House of Representatives who have cosponsored the legislation. Very few legislative efforts garner this much support. If the legislation garners 290 co-sponsors, it can be put on the “suspension calendar.” This means the bill can be brought to the follow with limited debates and amendments. The objective now is to move the legislation through the House Commerce Committee and then on to the House floor for a vote.
Currently 22 members of the NY delegation have cosponsored the legislation:
Rep. Espaillat, Adriano [D-NY-13]
Rep. Garbarino, Andrew R. [R-NY-2]
Rep. Gillen, Laura [D-NY-4]
Rep. Goldman, Dan [D-NY-10th]
Rep. Kennedy, Tim [D-NY-26]
Rep. LaLota, Nick [R-NY-1]
Rep. Langworthy, Nicholas A. [R-NY-23]
Rep. Latimer, George [D-NY-16]
Rep. Lawler, Michael [R-NY-17]
Rep. Malliotakis, Nicole [R-NY-11]
Rep. Mannion, John [D-NY-22]
Rep. Meng, Grace [D-NY-6]
Rep. Morelle, Joseph D. [D-NY-25]
Rep. Nadler, Jerrold [D-NY-12]
Rep. Riley, Josh [D-NY-19]
Rep. Ryan, Pat [D-NY-18]
Rep. Stefanik, Elise M. [R-NY-21]
Rep. Suozzi, Thomas R. [D-NY-3]
Rep. Tenney, Claudia [R-NY-24]
Rep. Tonko, Paul [D-NY-20]
Rep. Torres, Ritchie [D-NY-15]
Rep. Velázquez, Nydia M. [D-NY-7]
There are 61 cosponsors in the Senate. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand both support the legislation. The Senate bill (S. 315) has already passed the Senate Commerce Committee and is ready for a vote on the Senate Floor.
Thank you, Congressman Latimer!
