Railroads; requiring physical copies of certain items to be placed aboard trains. Effective date.

SB 340 requires railroad operators transporting freight in Oklahoma to carry physical copies of three specific items aboard every train: the cargo manifest, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Emergency Response Guidebook, and crew qualification identification cards. This applies directly to all railroad companies operating freight trains within the state. Violations result in fines starting at $250 for a first offense, increasing to $5,000 for a second offense within three years, and up to $10,000 for subsequent offenses. The law becomes effective November 1, 2025, and authorizes the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety to issue citations for noncompliance.
