Change provisions relating to the investigation of railroad accidents

Summary

The bill changes Nebraska law so that any railroad that has an accident causing death or injury to non‑employees, or involving an explosion, fire, or toxic fumes, must report the incident to the Public Service Commission within 24 hours. The same report must also be sent to the Federal Railroad Administration, and the reports cannot be used as evidence in court. Failure to follow these rules would be a Class IV misdemeanor.
