Assaulting or threatening passenger train workers would become a federal crime with serious penalties.
This bill would make it a federal crime to assault or threaten passenger train crew members. This means people who interfere with train workers could face federal fines and up to 8 years in prison, or up to 20 years if a dangerous weapon is used. This aims to make train travel safer for both crew and passengers.
Currently, assaulting or threatening a passenger train crew member is not specifically a federal crime like it is for aircraft crew. If this bill becomes law, it would become a federal crime to assault or threaten a train crew member, or even try to. Those found guilty could face federal fines and up to 8 years in prison, with sentences up to 20 years if a dangerous weapon is involved.
