The House Joint Resolution 76 was signed into law on Tuesday, Aug. 22, by President Trump. The bill was passed with overwhelming support by the United States Congress. Only five Congressmen voted against the bill, and 29 couldnt be bothered to vote at all. The new safety commission will take over from the Federal Transit Agency (FTA) which has been in charge of safety oversight for the Washington Metropolitan Area Interstate Compact (WMATA) since October 2015. The Free Thought Project reported on one major red flag that would give the newly formed commission the authority to enter property near the Metro Rail System without limitation and without a warrant.”]
