汽车制造商未能阻止《每辆汽车都要有AM广播法案》在众议院通过，但其游说披露显示，资金仍在流动，而该法案正待在参议院日程上，中期选举前没有安排投票，令广播业者眼巴巴地看着时钟走动。第三季度报告显示，反对该法案的组织花费约630万美元。
Automakers could not keep the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act from clearing the House, but their lobbying disclosures show the money still moving while the bill waits on a Senate calendar that holds no vote before the midterms, leaving broadcasters watching the clock. Third quarter reports show organizations opposed to the bill spending about $6.3 million.
丰田汽车北美公司报告约170万美元，汽车创新联盟约150万美元，特斯拉65万美元，本田52万美元，大众汽车集团美国公司42万美元，宝马北美公司23万美元。Lucid USA报告8万美元，马自达6万美元。
Toyota Motor North America reported about $1.7 million, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation about $1.5 million, Tesla $650,000, Honda $520,000, Volkswagen Group of America $420,000, and BMW of North America $230,000. Lucid USA reported $80,000 and Mazda $60,000.
虽然不直接代表汽车行业，但其他已知反对亲广播立法的组织，如消费者技术协会和SoundExchange，分别花费81万美元和29万美元。
While not directly representing the automotive industry, other organizations known to oppose pro-radio legislation, like the Consumer Technology Association and SoundExchange, spent $810,000 and $290,000, respectively.
外部公司提交了更多引用该法案的报告，包括Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck为SoundExchange代理，金额11万美元；Invariant为丰田代理，金额9万美元；Akin Gump为汽车创新联盟代理，金额8万美元；Kountoupes Denham Carr & Reid为沃尔沃汽车公司代理，金额5万美元；Polaris-Hutton Group为通用汽车代理，金额4万美元。

特斯拉、大众和沃尔沃已从部分车型中取消AM广播，其中特斯拉还在移除FM波段。
Tesla, Volkswagen, and Volvo have already dropped AM radio from some models, with the former also moving to remove the FM band.
广播业者自身引用该法案的报告总额约370万美元，由全美广播协会领衔，达270万美元，iHeartMedia为98.8568万美元，Salem Media Group为3万美元。国际消防员协会报告20.4309万美元，国际消防长协会3万美元，全美志愿消防委员会1万美元。为全美广播协会和iHeartMedia工作的十一家外部公司在引用该法案的报告中总计46万美元，为内华达州和北卡罗来纳州广播协会工作的公司增加了3万美元。
Broadcasters’ own reports citing the bill total about $3.7 million, led by the National Association of Broadcasters at $2.7 million, with iHeartMedia at $988,568 and Salem Media Group at $30,000.

众议院9月在暂停规则程序下以口头表决方式通过了H.R. 979法案，此前众议院多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯将其从地面交通法案包中抽出，该法案于5月被纳入其中。参议院配套法案S. 315拥有超过60名两党联合提案人，足以突破阻挠议事，但其推进路径极易受阻。
The House passed H.R. 979 by voice vote in September under suspension of the rules after House Majority Leader Steve Scalise pulled it out of the surface transportation package, where it had been folded in May. The Senate companion, S. 315, has more than 60 bipartisan cosponsors, enough to clear a filibuster, but its path can easily be stymied.
参议员查克·格拉斯利本月早些时候表示，该法案需要获得全体一致同意，只要有一名参议员反对即可叫停，或者搭乘年底立法的顺风车，例如农村医疗保健法案、税收法案或拨款法案。
Sen. Chuck Grassley said earlier this month that the bill needs unanimous consent, where just one objection could stop it, or a ride on year-end legislation such as a rural health care package, a tax bill, or appropriations.
