This legislation amends federal law to enhance transparency regarding executive compensation at Amtrak. It specifically modifies section 24315(a) of title 49, United States Code, which governs Amtrak's reporting requirements. The bill mandates that Amtrak not only submit annual reports to Congress but also make this information publicly available on its official website . A key provision requires the disclosure of the annual base pay and any bonus compensation provided to members of Amtrak's executive leadership team, including the chief executive officer, president, and other officers. Furthermore, Amtrak must detail the criteria and metrics used to determine such bonus compensation, ensuring a clear understanding of how these incentives are awarded.
