Both the Senate and House are in Washington this week and 27
bills were introduced yesterday. Two of those bills may be of specific interest
to readers of this blog:
HR 4871 Latest Title: To
reauthorize the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, and for other purposes. Sponsor: Rep
Neugebauer, Randy (R,TX)
S 2478 Latest Title: A bill to
authorize the Secretary of Transportation to partner with industry to
strengthen the safety culture and safety practices of short line and regional
freight railroads. Sponsor: Sen
Collins, Susan M. (R,ME)
This now makes 5
bills in the current session that address the reauthorization of the TRIA.
I haven’t seen this bill yet, but I suspect that this is the one that will get
play in the House since Neugebauer is the Chair of the Housing and Insurance
Subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee.
The Collins bill may be of interest if it contains
provisions specific to chemical transportation safety.
