Cummins Corrective Bill Could Settle Interstate Liability
Des Moines June 19. Senator Cummins pushes a corrective bill to end carrier liability limits in interstate shipping. The measure would require full value recovery for damaged property, overturning state and prior federal rulings. Livestock shippers and railroads face a tangled legal backdrop with Colorado hearings and a pending July Iowa consideration. If passed, it would supersede the Catmack amendment and earlier Iowa law. The bill’s fate hinges on administration support and Western lawmakers.
