Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow pipeline and hazardous materials companies to voluntarily share safety information with federal regulators without fear that the information could be used against them in lawsuits or enforcement actions. The measure aims to encourage companies to report safety problems and near-misses to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration so regulators can identify and fix risks before accidents happen.
