Evidence

Representatives Brendan F. Boyle, Chris DeLuzio, and LaMonica McIver introduced the Rail Passenger Fairness Act. The release says the bill would empower Amtrak to sue freight railroads in federal court to enforce passenger-train preference rights under existing law.

Boyle is a lead sponsor of new Amtrak-rights legislation, but the release only shows introduction, not enactment.

Boyle and Deluzio introduced the Ending Passenger Rail Forced Arbitration Act to protect the ability and rights of Amtrak riders to seek justice if things go wrong.

This is concrete co-leading action on Amtrak passenger legal rights, but the page shows introduction rather than passage or enactment.

Congress.gov lists H.R.5570, the Rail Passenger Fairness Act, with status Introduced and latest action: referred to the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials.

The latest official legislative status still shows a referral only, so the proposal has not been delivered into law.

Assessments

unresolved same_term A for effort

Boyle has materially acted on the promise by co-leading Amtrak passenger-rights legislation, including the Rail Passenger Fairness Act and the Ending Passenger Rail Forced Arbitration Act. However, the available official/current status shows the relevant legislation introduced or referred, not enacted, so the promised restoration of legal rights and protections has not yet been delivered. Because Boyle remains in federal office and the 119th Congress is ongoing, this is unresolved rather than a final failure.
