This week, I paid tribute to my friend and hero Minnie Minoso on the House Floor, House Republicans once again turned Congress into theater with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech, Speaker Boehner finally allowed a vote on funding our nation’s homeland security, and my bipartisan Pets on Trains bill passed the House.
[WASHINGTON, DC] – The United States House of Representatives today approved legislation introduced last month by Congressmen Steve Cohen (TN-09) and Jeff Denham (CA-10) which would allow families and passengers to travel with domesticated cats and dogs on certain Amtrak trains. The bipartisan Pets on Trains Act would also give Amtrak the flexibility to develop the details of their pet policy to best fit the service and their customers.
All aboard! Dogs and cats could ride along as passengers on some Amtrak trains under a pilot program passed by the U.S. House as part of a bill to reauthorize funding for the rail service.
The bill was passed 316-101 by the House on Wednesday. It would allow at least one car on many Amtrak trains to be designated so that passengers “may transport a domesticated cat or dog in the same manner as carry-on baggage.”
Amtrak officials would be required to report to House and Senate committees within a year on how the program was working.
