H.R. 5368, the Pipeline Safety Engagement Act of 2025, directs the Secretary of Transportation to rename the Community Liaison Services within the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration as the Office of Public Engagement within one year of the bill's enactment. The newly renamed office will be responsible for proactively engaging with pipeline operators, public safety organizations, and state and local officials to promote pipeline safety awareness, encourage adoption of safety programs, and educate the public about pipeline regulations and best practices. The bill emphasizes making the office's activities and information accessible to the general public and requires it to retain existing community liaison positions. The Secretary must submit a report to Congress within 18 months describing how the office has been implemented. No specific funding amounts are allocated in the legislation.
