Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Delay to 2026 passenger rail claim limits
If enacted, this would delay any 2026 increase to the passenger rail liability cap. The higher limit would start 90 days after the required federal notice is issued. It would not change the cap amount or how the CPI adjustment is calculated, only the timing, and only for calendar year 2026. Rail companies and insurers would have more time before higher limits apply, while passengers and claimants would wait longer for higher limits.
