This bill establishes new requirements for railroad operators in Oklahoma regarding the maintenance of certain physical documents aboard trains. Specifically, it defines the term "Emergency Response Guidebook" and mandates that all railroad trains carrying freight must have physical copies of the cargo manifest, the Emergency Response Guidebook, and identification cards for each crew member. This new section will be codified as Section 104 of Title 66 in the Oklahoma Statutes.

Additionally, the bill grants the Department of Public Safety the authority to issue citations for violations of these requirements, with specified fines based on the number of offenses. The fines range from $250 to $1,000 for a first offense, $1,000 to $5,000 for a second offense within three years, and $5,000 to $10,000 for a third or subsequent offense within the same timeframe. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025.
