Bill overview
This bill requires that new motor vehicles sold in New Jersey be equipped with a radio capable of receiving amplitude modulation (AM) radio broadcasts. The legislation highlights the importance of AM radio for public safety information, particularly during emergencies, as it can provide critical updates when other communication systems fail. Concerns have been raised about manufacturers discontinuing AM radio support, especially in electric vehicles, prompting this action to ensure continued access to vital information for drivers.
