House Bill 3771 amends the Transportation Code to authorize the Texas Department of Transportation, on application by a railroad company and by rule, to adopt safety standards for high-speed rail systems for that railroad company and to impose a reasonable fee on the railroad company to recover the department's costs of administering this provision. A railroad company is not required to submit an application to the department if the company is operating under safety standards approved by the Federal Railroad Administration or another federal agency.
