Railroads; requiring certain railroad trains to have two crew members aboard. Effective date. Emergency.

SB 86 requires railroad freight trains operating in Oklahoma to have at least two certified crew members (such as engineers or conductors) aboard while moving. It directly affects railroad operators transporting freight, with exceptions for passenger trains, tourism rides, slow-moving trains (under 30 mph) with a caboose, helper service, hostler service, and very slow loading/unloading (under 10 mph). Violations carry fines starting at $250 for a first offense, increasing to $10,000 for repeat offenses within three years. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and was enacted as an emergency measure.
