Railroads; requiring certain railroad operators have two crew members if certain condition occurs; making certain exceptions; effective date.

HB 2245 requires most railroad operators in Oklahoma (excluding short lines) to maintain at least two crew members in the control compartment of a train's lead locomotive if they adopt a policy allowing single-crew operation. This rule applies during regular train service, with exceptions for switching, brake testing, safety inspections, and setouts during road service. The bill mandates this two-crew requirement instead of single-crew operations for qualifying railroads, effective November 1, 2025. It directly affects railroad companies seeking to reduce crew sizes on mainline operations within Oklahoma.
