On Tuesday, there were two new cosponsors added for HR 1674, Railway Safety Act of 2023. One of those cosponsors {Rep Ryan (D,NY)} is a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to which this bill was assigned for consideration. This now means that there may be sufficient influence to see the bill considered in Committee.
The bill provides a variety of potential improvements for the shipment of hazardous materials by rail. Various funds are authorized to support some of the program proposed.
There are now eight Republican co-sponsors, so there is an
increased likelihood that there would be sufficient bipartisan support for the
bill to move forward in Committee.
