Requires AM radio access in all new passenger vehicles.
Mandates the Secretary of Transportation to issue a rule requiring all new passenger vehicles to include devices capable of receiving AM radio signals. This applies to vehicles manufactured in the U.S. for U.S. sale, imported into the U.S., or shipped in interstate commerce. Vehicles without AM radio access must clearly label this fact and cannot charge extra for AM radio capability. The rule takes effect 2-3 years after issuance, with a longer period for smaller manufacturers. The rule expires 10 years after enactment.
