Summary

The bill mandates that any new motor vehicle sold or leased in New Jersey must have a radio capable of receiving amplitude‑modulation (AM) broadcasts. It targets manufacturers, dealers, and lessors, aiming to keep AM radio available as a public‑safety communication tool during emergencies. Violations would be treated as an unlawful practice under the consumer fraud act, with fines and possible cease‑and‑desist orders.
