Keeping China Off the Rails Act

This bill changes an existing federal law that sets manufacturing and content requirements for railroad freight cars running on the U.S. general railroad system. Right now, those requirements apply only to freight cars built after a set date. The bill would extend the requirements to older freight cars in steps over four years. In the first year after the bill becomes law, the rules would cover cars produced in the 2 years before enactment. This would grow to 5 years, then 10, then 15. After four years, the rules would cover all freight cars. The bill also corrects a spelling error in the name of an industry tracking system.
