Railroads; providing for incorporation of certain systems at certain railroad crossings. Effective date.
SB 1861 requires Oklahoma's Corporation Commission and Department of Transportation to implement advanced detection systems at "extra hazardous" railroad crossings. These systems use sensors and AI to detect objects, analyze safety risks in real time, and send alerts to train crews. The bill appropriates $5 million from the Oklahoma Railroad Maintenance Revolving Fund to support rail operators in installing these systems by 2028. It mandates a report by December 2028 detailing hazard detection, alerts issued, and safety improvements at these specific crossings.
