Important note on conflicting metadata

The provided bill materials include an opening line referencing the “Decreasing Emergency Railroad Accident Instances Locally Act (DERAIL Act)” and a list of federal sponsors and committee referrals (e.g., Transportation and Infrastructure; Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines, and Hazardous Materials). These elements appear unrelated to the Pilar King commendation resolution and likely reflect mixed or incorrect metadata from a different H.R. 854. For official text and status, consult the House Clerk or the legislative source for H.R. 854 to confirm which document corresponds to this bill number.
