The bill, titled "AN ACT RESTORING SERVICE ON THE SHORE LINE EAST RAIL LINE," mandates the Department of Transportation to restore rail service on the Shore Line East to its pre-COVID-19 levels by July 1, 2025. This restoration is aimed at reinstating the service that was reduced due to the COVID-19 public health emergency and the civil preparedness emergency declared by the Governor on March 10, 2020.

The new legal language introduced in this bill includes a directive for the Department of Transportation to take action by a specified deadline, while there are no deletions from current law noted in the text. The bill is designed to ensure that rail service is fully operational again, reflecting the importance of public transportation in the region's recovery from the pandemic.
