House Markup of the Hazmat Transportation Law

摘要

In the first move to amend the Hazmat Law for reautho-rization, the House Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials issued its markup of the existing law. The draft bill, which is a small part of a highway funding bill, now moves to the Subcommittee's parent, the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, for further consideration. As part of a larger bill involving several hundred billion dollars, a concern is that HMTA reau-thorization will get little attention as it moves forward. The complete bill can be found at Media/file/Highways/HPP/OBERST_044_xml.pdf with hazmat reauthorization starting on page 738.
