This bill aims to enhance the confidentiality of train crew members involved in railroad fatalities by establishing specific protections for their personal identifying information. It mandates that such information, found in reports and communications related to these incidents, be redacted from public reports and maintained confidentially by law enforcement and authorized individuals. The bill also outlines that unredacted copies of these reports will be accessible to the employing railroad, individuals authorized by court order, and law enforcement personnel as necessary for their duties.

Additionally, the bill exempts train crew members from the requirement to display their operator's licenses to law enforcement while operating a locomotive or train in Nebraska. It defines a "train crew member" to include engineers, conductors, brakemen, and any other crew members involved in the operation of a train or locomotive. This legislation seeks to protect the privacy of train crew members while ensuring that necessary information remains accessible to relevant authorities.
