Bill overview
This bill extends funding for the Short-Line Railroad Improvement Program, which provides financial assistance to California’s short-line railroads for projects like reconstruction, maintenance, and upgrades. It extends the availability of existing funds by one year, allowing for continued project programming. The bill also modifies the program’s requirements to allow for private or local funding sources for publicly owned railroads, and mandates increased public notification and review processes when the Department of Toxic Substances Control proposes changes to hazardous waste regulations.
