What’s in it
AI summary Railroad companies would be banned from closing a crossing for more than three days straight to fix or upgrade it. If they break this rule, they must pay a fine between $500 and $5,000 for every extra day the crossing stays closed. Companies must also tell local city or county leaders before they close a crossing, and those leaders have the power to allow more time if needed.1
Read the official explanation
25 is subject to a $100 penalty. This bill prohibits a railroad corporation from closing a railway crossing for more than consecutive days for the purpose of repairing or upgrading the crossing, and a corporation is subject to a penalty of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000 for each day a crossing is closed after the number of days allowed in the bill. The bill requires a railroad corporation to provide notice about an upcoming crossing closure to the county board of supervisors or city council that has jurisdiction over the crossing, prior to closing the crossing. A county board of supervisors or city council is authorized to extend the closure of a crossing for an additional consecutive days if a railroad corporation provides notice.
