Rep. Pat Ryan (D -NY- 18) 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 286 members of the U.S House of Representatives who have cosponsored the legislation. Importantly 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.
Currently 21 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. 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.
We hope to move the legislation in the House of Representatives in September or early October. Thank you, Congressman Ryan!
