Relating to the disclosure of certain information regarding a record of a collision or violation involving a person operating a railroad locomotive or train.
HB 2270 prevents railroad operators' personal information (like driver's license numbers) from appearing in collision or violation reports and stops such incidents from being recorded in their driving records. It restricts disclosure of crew members' personal details or communications in these reports, allowing access only to law enforcement, the involved railroad company, rail regulators, or under court order. The bill directly affects railroad locomotive operators and crews by limiting how their incident records are handled. It takes effect September 1, 2025, if passed.
