But the California legislature at least talked to their lawyers. They say the $45 dollars per tank car of dangerous materials is to be paid by the shipper, not the railroad, but the railroad is required to collect it from the shipper.
In theory this avoids the interstate commerce clause problem. We shall see how this flies in the courts.
