HR 1804 Introduced – Crude by Rail Safety Act

As I mentioned earlier, Rep McDermott (D,WA) introduced HR 1804, the Crude-By-Rail Safety Act. This is a companion bill to S 859. This means that the two bills are very nearly identical and were introduced at about the same time so that they could begin the committee process in both houses of Congress at the same time.

Since neither McDermott, nor any of his four co-sponsors are members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, it is unlikely that this bill will be considered in the House any more than S 859 will be considered in the Senate.
