The proposed bill aims to protect the confidential personal information of railroad employees involved in fatal accidents. It establishes that reports related to railroad fatalities and communications between police officers and railroad crew members must be maintained in a way that ensures the confidentiality of the crew's personal information. If any of this information is disclosed publicly, it must be redacted to protect the identities of the involved employees.

However, there are exceptions to this confidentiality requirement. The bill specifies that certain entities, such as the employing railroad, law enforcement officers, and authorized personnel from the Arkansas Department of Transportation or federal agencies, may access this information if necessary for their duties or if they have a court order. Requests for information must be made in written or electronic form, ensuring that access is limited to those who require it for official purposes.
