Complete·4/17/25

Montana SB23 allows the Department to set reporting thresholds for railroad accidents.

Montana SB23 revises railroad regulations by allowing the Department to set reporting thresholds for accidents. The bill amends Section 69-14-252, MCA, to include a provision for the Department to adopt rules for setting these thresholds. Railroad companies must still report accidents to the commission, including details such as the time, place, injuries, and property damage. The act is effective immediately upon passage and approval.
