Railroad bill ready for caucus to set revenue plan
A dated report describes a railroad bill drafted by a three member committee and Die Rouse and Utes senators. It details provisions for railroad rate regulation, court oversight, and the election of a new railroad commission. The plan eliminates the current board and shifts authority to a state supreme court appeal process with a three person commission. The act targets a 1900 start with elections slated for a presidential year and potential staff changes amid town attendance doubts.
