Qué contiene
Resumen con IA Railroad owners must currently put up warning signs if objects like trees or buildings are too close to the tracks for workers riding on the side of a train. This new law requires those signs to be placed a reasonable distance away from the dangerous area instead of right at the spot. If a railroad company fails to do this, they can be fined $100 for each violation. (Todavía no está traducido al español.)1
Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
Under current law, the owner of a railroad track is required to place a warning device at a location where the close clearance between the track and a building, machinery, trees, brush, or other object is such that the building, machinery, trees, brush, or other object physically impedes a person who is lawfully riding the side of a train in the course of the person’s duties in service to a railroad company from clearing the building, machinery, trees, brush, or other object. The warning device must be placed in a location which provides adequate notice to a person riding the side of a train so that the person may prepare for the close clearance. This bill requires the warning device to also be placed a reasonable distance from the close-clearance area. By operation of law, a violation of the bill is a schedule “one” penalty, a fine of $100 per violation.
