119-sconres-8119th Congress

A concurrent resolution supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act.

Sponsored By: Senator Barrasso, John [R-WY]

Introduced

Summary

Opposes any new performance fee on local radio for playing sound recordings, aiming to protect free over‑the‑air stations that promote music and provide local news and emergency alerts. The resolution would state that Congress should not impose any new performance fee, tax, royalty, or other charge on local radio stations or on businesses that play local radio broadcasts because supporters say such charges would cause severe economic hardship for thousands of stations and for small businesses that rely on music and radio promotion.
