In the Senate, two competing bills (that look exactly the same) and is Senate's equivalent to Rep. Eshoo's bill from June 9th dealing with the volume of commercials. Not too sure why they did not co-sponsor a bill together, but nonetheless, I love the concept of the bills:
By Mr. SCHUMER:
S. 3154. A bill to require the Federal Communications Commission to prescribe a standard to preclude commercials from being broadcast at louder volumes than the program material they accompany; to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Source: GPO [S5753]
By Mr. WICKER:
S. 3156. A bill to require the Federal Communications Commission to prescribe a standard to preclude commercials from being broadcast at louder volumes than the program material they accompany; to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. Source: GPO [S5753]
On the House side, quite a peculiar bill. I wonder if the odd submarine that appeared in New York last year had anything to do with this:
By Mr. DANIEL E. LUNGREN of California (for himself and Mr. POE):
H.R. 6295. A bill to amend title 18, United States Code, to prohibit operation by any means or embarking in any submersible or semi-submersible vessel that is without nationality and that is navigating or has navigated into, through or from waters beyond the outer limit of the territorial sea of a single country or a lateral limit of that country's territorial sea with an adjacent country, and for other purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary. the State; to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
