Yesterday with both the House and Senate meeting in pro
forma session (ie: 90+% of the congresscritters staying at home campaigning)
there were 10 bills introduced. One of those bills is likely to receive further
consideration in this blog:
HR 7076
To reinstate requirements pertaining to electronically controlled pneumatic
brake systems on high-hazard flammable unit trains, and for other purposes. Rep. Herrera Beutler, Jaime [R-WA-3]
Since Herrera-Beutler is representing Vancouver, WA, which
is well known for its desire to restrict the operation of oil trains, I suspect
that this bill is more about campaigning than legislating. Still, it will be
interesting to see how bill intends to get around the cost-benefit issue that allowed
the Trump Administration to kill the ECP brake requirements.
