A concurrent resolution supporting the Local Radio Freedom Act.
Summary
This resolution expresses the sense of Congress that no new fees, taxes, or royalties should be imposed on local radio stations for broadcasting music over the air. Currently, local stations pay royalties to songwriters and publishers, but they are not required to pay performance royalties to recording artists or record labels for terrestrial broadcasts. By opposing new charges, this measure aims to protect the financial stability of local stations, ensuring they can continue providing free news, emergency alerts, and entertainment to their communities.
