If removing an archaic restriction is "bolstering amateur radio" then what does the FCC call the recently imposed $35 fees for new or modified ham licenses that up to now had been one of the few government courtesies left?
Search for "section 8 of the communications" to find the place within the bill text where it requires the FCC to start charging such fees.

If you’re not aware, hams have for many years received paltry (at best) support from the FCC in terms of any enforcement.
Could you expand on what you mean here? What enforcement is lacking?
It replaced an annual fee, though, so if you were in it for the long run, you came up ahead - but it hardly is the best sell-in to a new hobby that first you need to study for a test, then, if you pass,pay $180 and only then can you start figuring out if it is for you...
