Bill > HB2886

This bill introduces new definitions and identification requirements for railroad employees involved in accidents or incidents. The legislation defines key terms such as "FRA Certified Conductor" and "FRA Certified Engineer" as railroad employees who are licensed and certified by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and it describes a "railroad accident or incident" as accidents involving persons, vehicles, or animals related to railroad operations. The bill specifically stipulates that in the event of a railroad accident or incident, railroad employees shall not be required to show a driver's license to law enforcement or safety officers. Instead, FRA Certified Conductors and Engineers must provide their FRA certification, and railroad management must also present their FRA certification for identification purposes. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval, highlighting the perceived urgency of these identification procedures for railroad employees.
