Music-Related Legislation Before Congress Right Now: Full List of Bills (UPDATING)
Billboard is keeping track of all the bills that could impact the music industry during the 119th Congress.
There are several music-related bills currently under consideration in the 119th Congress that the music industry is closely monitoring. These federal pieces of legislation cover a wide range of areas within the business, including songwriting, licensing, tourism, royalties, ticketing, and live performances. The bills have garnered bipartisan support from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, and have been actively advocated for by various key players in the industry.
The Recording Academy and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have signed onto numerous bills, along with major record labels and major promoters like Live Nation. The legislative process for these bills is lengthy and complex, often involving multiple drafts, committee reviews, hearings, and revisions. Once a bill has passed through the House and Senate and received the president's signature, it becomes law.
Billboard has compiled a comprehensive list of all music-related legislation currently before the 119th Congress, detailing the background of each bill, its supporters, and the potential impact on the industry. This list will be regularly updated as bills progress through the legislative process, and new bills will be added as they are introduced.
