The bill has bipartisan sponsorship from Senators Welch (D-VT) and Blackburn (R-TN), indicating broad appeal for a common-sense consumer convenience. Because the mandate only applies to future equipment solicitations, it avoids the high costs of retrofitting existing rail cars, which significantly lowers political and financial opposition. It is a likely candidate for inclusion in a larger transportation or infrastructure package.
