SB 1742 - This act requires a railroad train or light engine used in connection with the movement of freight be operated by a crew consisting of not fewer than two qualified crew members. This two person requirement shall not apply to helper services, as defined in the act, hostler services, as defined in the act, or movement of a train for the purpose of loading or unloading a freight, provided the train is operated at a speed not exceeding ten miles per hour. Any person or railroad carrier who willfully violates this act shall be subject to fines as described in the act.
This act shall become effective only upon a final judgment that affirms the validity of the Federal Railroad Administration's two-person crew rule has been entered.
This act is identical to HB 3349 (2026).
