Requires the Department of Transportation to issue a rule making AM radio standard equipment in new passenger vehicles sold in the United States, with the rule's deadlines and the law itself ending eight years after enactment.

• Directs the Secretary of Transportation, in consultation with FEMA and the Federal Communications Commission, to issue the rule within one year, requiring devices that receive and play AM broadcast signals in passenger vehicles manufactured in or imported into the United States, with easy driver access.
• Sets the rule's effective date no more than two years after issuance, or at least four years for manufacturers that sold 40,000 or fewer passenger vehicles in the United States in 2022.
• Until the rule takes effect, requires vehicles without AM access to carry clear labeling and bars manufacturers from charging extra for AM access beyond the base price.
• Preempts state and local laws on AM access in passenger vehicles, allows civil penalties and Justice Department injunctions for violations, and directs a GAO study of emergency alert systems.
