SB 1389 TransDominion Express Commission; created.

Introduced by: John S. Edwards | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles | history

SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE:

TransDominion Express Commission. Establishes the TransDominion Express Commission to be responsible, within the TransDominion Corridor, for identifying needed construction, reconstruction, improvements of or repairs to railroads and their facilities and equipment to provide enhanced passenger rail service coordinated with freight rail opportunities within the Corridor.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Rail Transportation Development Authority. Establishes the TransDominion Express Authority. The Authority shall have the responsibility within the TransDominion Express corridor of identifying needed construction, reconstruction, improvements, or repairs to railroads and their facilities and equipment. The Authority is given the power to finance or assist in financing any rail transportation project. The bill also repeals Chapter 1041 of the 2003 Acts of Assembly, which provided for the creation of a Rail Transportation Development Authority. That act never became effective because it included a "reenactment clause," and the act was not reenacted by the 2004 Session.
