Occurrences
sponsoring the Railway Safety Act of 2026
“Let’s get this bill passed and on President Trump’s desk—who promised he would sign it.”
Evidence
"successfully had his bill the Railway Safety Act amended into the BUILD America 250 Act—a major transportation bill" and "it passed 54-11."
The committee "approved H.R. 8870, the BUILD America 250" after a "14-hour legislative markup"; the bill "improves rail safety" and is a bipartisan surface transportation reauthorization bill.
The page lists "T&I Committee Approves BUILD America 250 Act" and the bill's investments include "$64 billion in authorized funding for Amtrak and competitive rail grant programs" and rail safety-related provisions.
Deluzio and colleagues "introduce the Railway Safety Act of 2026" and state that the bill would make freight rail safer.
The Railway Safety Act of 2026 was introduced; the press release describes it as a re-introduction and says it would "remove duplicative language" and use real-time data to implement improvements.
Tracker status is "Introduced" and latest action is referral to the Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials.
Assessments
The promise was to pass the Railway Safety Act and have it signed into law. The evidence shows Deluzio introduced and reintroduced Railway Safety Act legislation and materially advanced some of its provisions by getting language amended into the BUILD America 250 Act, which passed committee. However, there is no evidence that the Railway Safety Act itself passed both chambers or was signed into law, nor that the broader vehicle carrying his provisions became law. Because he made a serious legislative effort and achieved committee-level progress but did not deliver final enactment, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.
