If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 40 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically Section 40-850. The new provision would explicitly prohibit railroads operating within the state from running or allowing trains that exceed 8,500 feet in length on any part of a main track or branch line. This insertion aims to establish a clear regulatory limit on train lengths to enhance safety and operational efficiency.

The bill does not propose any deletions from existing statutes, meaning that all current laws regarding railroad operations would remain intact. The addition of this new regulation would serve to complement existing safety measures and regulations enforced by the Arizona Corporation Commission, thereby reinforcing the state's commitment to maintaining safe railroad operations.
