A bill to adjust the rail safety inspections General Schedule classification, and for other purposes.

This bill raises the pay grade for federal railroad safety inspectors by one level on the government's General Schedule. It directly affects these employees by increasing their base salary through a reclassification of their positions from GS-12 to GS-13 and from GS-13 to GS-14. The legislation requires the Office of Personnel Management and the Secretary of Transportation to update official job descriptions and grade standards within 180 days of the law's enactment to reflect these changes.
