Railroads; requiring certain railroad trains to have two crew members aboard. Effective date.
SB 75 requires railroad companies in Oklahoma to have at least two certified crew members (such as engineers or conductors) aboard freight trains while they are moving. This applies to all freight operations except for passenger trains, tourist rides, slow-moving trains (under 30 mph), helper service, hostler service, or loading/unloading movements (under 10 mph). Violations carry fines starting at $250 for a first offense, increasing to $10,000 for repeat violations within three years. The law takes effect on July 1, 2025, and directly affects freight railroad operators in Oklahoma.
