Bill Summary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution supports the Local Radio Freedom Act, which means Congress should not impose any new fees, taxes, or royalties on local radio stations for playing music over the air, nor should it charge businesses for playing music from local radio broadcasts. The resolution argues that local radio stations already provide significant free promotion to the music industry through airplay and other activities, and that imposing such a fee would harm both radio stations and other businesses that rely on music, ultimately hurting consumers who benefit from the free services local radio provides, including news, weather, and entertainment.
