If enacted, the Secretary of Transportation would not be allowed to grant waivers, exemptions, or modifications to safety rules if a proposed alternative inspection or monitoring method would fail to detect all defect conditions the FRA recognizes as unsafe under rules in effect on January 1, 2026. This ban would apply even if another law might otherwise allow a waiver. It would take effect upon enactment.
If enacted, any defect found by inspections, sensors, or machines would have to be corrected, protected, or removed from service immediately under the rules in effect on January 1, 2026. A qualified inspector who finds a deviation would have to begin remedial action right away and would have sole authority to allow any train movements needed to fix out-of-service track. The Secretary would have to update part 213 within one year after enactment so machine findings are covered by the same immediate-remediation rule.
If enacted, the Secretary would have to update Subparts F and G of part 213 within one year to set minimum Track Geometry Measurement System inspection schedules and rules. For example, Classes 1–5 with cant deficiency over 5 inches would be checked at least four times per year with at least 43 days between checks. Class 9 track would be inspected at least twice during any 30-day period with at least six days between checks. Crossovers where track speed exceeds 30 mph would be inspected at least twice per year with at least 120 days between inspections.
If enacted, main line tracks designated for Class 3 speeds or higher would need visual inspections by a qualified inspector at least twice each week. Inspections must have at least one calendar day between them. This requirement would take effect upon enactment.
