The Modern Risk Detection Act of 2025 amends federal pipeline safety regulations to allow pipeline owners and operators to use risk-based approaches when complying with safety standards. The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to ensure that pipeline safety standards permit companies to employ risk-based methods to the maximum extent practicable, rather than requiring one-size-fits-all compliance methods. This legislation affects pipeline operators across the country by giving them greater flexibility in how they demonstrate compliance with federal safety requirements. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timelines in the text provided. It was introduced in the Senate on August 1, 2025, and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
