Railroad police changes take effect now
The law takes effect right away. It updates which state official commissions railroad police officers. One subsection now names the commissioner of safety instead of the governor, and another names the governor instead of the commissioner. Because it is effective immediately, these updated roles apply now. It does not create new programs or costs for households.
