Bill > HB119

This bill amends New Mexico's laws to require that all class 1 and class 2 railroads operating in the state have at least two crew members (an engineer and conductor) on any freight train or locomotive, except for certain limited operations like hostling and helper locomotives. For trains carrying radioactive materials, a minimum of three crew members is required, and the railroads must provide radiation counters and follow federal safety standards. The bill also defines key terms like "class 1 railroad" and "crew." The provisions of the bill will take effect on July 1, 2024.
