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

SB 357 requires railroad companies operating freight trains in Oklahoma to carry physical copies of three specific items aboard each train: the cargo manifest, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Emergency Response Guidebook, and crew qualification identification cards. This applies directly to railroad operators transporting freight within the state. The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety may issue citations for violations, with fines starting at $250 for a first offense and increasing to up to $10,000 for repeat violations within three years. The law takes effect on November 1, 2025.
