This bill aims to exempt certain nonprofit organizations operating historic educational programs about steam locomotive railroads from being classified as amusement parks or amusement park rides. Specifically, it applies to nonprofit organizations with tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or governmental entities. The bill stipulates that these organizations must ensure that all personnel operating train equipment are properly trained according to railroad standards, adhere to standard maintenance and operating procedures, and do not offer paid admission for rides or ticket sales at specific times.

By establishing these criteria, the bill allows nonprofit historical museums to provide educational experiences related to steam locomotives without the regulatory burdens typically associated with amusement parks. The legislation emphasizes the importance of safety and proper training while clarifying that these replica railroads are not intended for public transportation. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
