Amtrak Transparency Act
Introduced Jan 21, 2025 by Sen. Deb Fischer
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill increases Amtrak's open meeting and public disclosure requirements.
Specifically, the Amtrak Board of Directors must comply with federal open meeting requirements under the Government in the Sunshine Act.
In addition, at least 30 days prior to the board convening, the board must publicly post an announcement of the meeting and the anticipated meeting agenda.
The board must also annually convene a meeting to which state departments of transportation with long-distance routes or state-supported routes are invited to participate.
