Exempts certain nonprofit historic educational programs about steam locomotive railroads from regulation as amusement parks or rides.
This bill exempts nonprofit historic educational programs operating steam locomotive railroads from being regulated as amusement parks or rides. It applies to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or government entities that meet three requirements: (1) personnel must be trained per railroad standards, (2) all maintenance and boiler inspections must follow state regulations, and (3) they cannot charge public admission for train rides. The exemption ensures these educational museum programs - like replica train experiences - avoid unnecessary amusement park regulations while maintaining safety standards. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
