What this bill would do

The Modern Risk Detection Act of 2025 aims to amend title 49 of the United States Code. This legislation focuses on pipeline facilities and their owners or operators. Specifically, it seeks to protect the use of risk-based approaches. The bill directs the Secretary to ensure that prescribed standards allow for these approaches, concepts, or principles. This change would apply to the maximum extent practicable for complying with standards.
