What this bill is intended to do

Amtrak Transparency and Accountability for Passengers and Taxpayers Act This bill directs Amtrak to comply with federal open meeting requirements under the Government in the Sunshine Act, with exceptions. Under the bill, certain open meeting requirements do not apply to any portion or portions of a meeting that Amtrak properly determines are likely to involve contract negotiations, including negotiations for contract procurements and agreements, the disclosure of which would imperil or compromise Amtrak’s competitive position; collective bargaining agreements or any terms and conditions that are proposed for inclusion in an agreement; and matters involving the employment, appointment, termination, terms and conditions of employment, performance evaluation, promotion, or disciplining of a current or prospective Amtrak officer, employee, or contractor (unless all affected individuals request in writing that the matter or matters be discussed at a public meeting).
