Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2017
On January 13, 2017, the "Amateur Radio Parity Act of 2017" was introduced into the new 115th Congress.
This bill was designated as HR 555, and is identical to the language of HR 1301 which was passed by the
US House of Representatives in 2016. On January 23, 2017 the US House of Representatives passed the Amateur
Radio Parity Act of 2917 by unanimous consent. This action now sends the bill to the US Senate for its consideration.
Further information on HR 555 and how ARRL members can assist in working towards its passage will be forthcoming
from the ARRL.
