Update: HB 2088 has been passed.
HB2088, dealing with Public Recreational Access and safety issues on new railroad projects was reported out of the Senate Rules committee’s Sub-Committee on Studies today by a 3-0 vote.
Now it will be heard by the full Senate Rules Committee, probably on Friday.
Since the railroads are not opposing the bill, it should not have any problems, but it would be helpful if constituents of Senators on the Rules Committee would call their Senator by Friday: Whipple (Chairman), Colgan, Saslaw, Houck, Miller, Y.B., Howell, Marsh, Lucas, Ticer, Puller, Locke, Wampler, Quayle, Stolle, Norment, Edwards, and Puckett.
