LB 485 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide for confidentiality for train crew members involved with railroad fatalities and access to confidential information of train crew members and exempt train crew members from being required to display operator's licenses to law enforcement

This bill protects the privacy of train crew members (including engineers and conductors) involved in railroad deaths by requiring their personal details to be removed from public reports. It also creates controlled access for railroads, courts, and law enforcement to confidential information when necessary for investigations. Crucially, the bill exempts train crew members from having to show their operator licenses to police during train operations in Nebraska. The law directly affects train crew, railroads, and law enforcement officials handling such incidents.
