Bill Summary
A BILL To give effect to a final rule of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration relating to gas pipeline leak detection and repair, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill ensures the implementation of a final rule by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) regarding gas pipeline leak detection and repair. Specifically, the bill mandates that the rule issued on January 17, 2025, with the docket number PHMSA-2021-0039, will take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment, regardless of any other existing legal provisions. The bill also preserves the Secretary's authority to update and potentially strengthen the regulations in the future, allowing for more stringent protections or standards related to gas pipeline safety beyond the current rule. By codifying this rule into law, the bill aims to enhance the detection and repair of gas pipeline leaks, which could help improve public safety, reduce environmental risks, and minimize potential infrastructure-related hazards associated with gas pipeline systems.
