Amtrak Transparency and Accountability for Passengers and Taxpayers Act

This bill requires Amtrak's Board of Directors to follow stricter public meeting rules and improve transparency. It mandates that closed board meetings (only for discussion, not voting) must be followed by public disclosure of attendees and topics within two business days, unless tied to an ongoing decision. Additionally, Amtrak's Board Chair must provide Congress with an annual briefing detailing all voted-on matters and pending votes before each fiscal year. The bill directly affects Amtrak's governance, aiming to increase accountability to passengers and taxpayers through clearer meeting practices and reporting.
