Bill overview
This bill requires the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to conduct a comprehensive review of railroad sites statewide to identify potential safety hazards. By July 1, 2029, the PUC must evaluate each site on its list and determine if changes necessitate removal, modification, or addition. The bill also mandates the installation of a network of wayside detector systems on freight train tracks, including hot wheel bearing detectors, with specific spacing requirements based on the carrier’s classification. Violations of these requirements will result in a penalty of at least $25,000.
