This bill, the Amtrak Transparency and Accountability for Passengers and Taxpayers Act, requires the Amtrak Board of Directors to comply with the open meetings requirements of Section 552b of Title 5 of the United States Code, with some exceptions. The exceptions allow Amtrak to withhold information related to contract negotiations, collective bargaining agreements, and personnel matters of Amtrak employees and contractors, unless those individuals request a public discussion. The bill also applies the information exemptions outlined in Section 552b(c) of Title 5 to Amtrak meetings.
