Change powers and duties of the Public Service Commission relating to railroad safety

LB 1162 amends Nebraska's Public Service Commission authority to adopt and enforce specific federal railroad safety standards for safety inspections. The bill allows the commission to use federal standards (from 49 C.F.R. parts 213, 215, 223, 229, 231, and 232) when conducting inspections and participating in federal safety programs. It requires the commission to report potential federal violations to the Federal Railroad Administration for enforcement. This directly affects railroad carriers operating in Nebraska and the Public Service Commission's safety oversight role.
