Chief Chris Eddy’s Law

This bill would require the U.S. Secretary of Transportation to issue or update hazardous materials rules so that all refrigerated shipping containers carry placards. The placards would warn emergency responders that the containers could become pressurized. The requirement would apply to every refrigerated container used in commerce within a state, between states, or internationally, no matter what cargo it carries. The bill also directs the Secretary to study whether refrigerants should be recognized as their own hazard category and how that would affect other hazardous material rules.
