[AI summary unavailable — showing source text] Infrastructure Expansion Act of 2023 This bill precludes absolute liability in any action against a property owner or contractor for certain federal infrastructure and transportation development projects for any injury associated with an elevation- or gravity-related risk occurring on those projects.
