HF 2793: Relating to a railway tracks overpass and underpass fund, and making appropriations

Died when the session ended · The 2026 session adjourned on May 3, 2026, the General Assembly’s last regular session. Bills that didn’t pass both chambers died.

What it does

8). The department of transportation (DOT) must approve the overpass or underpass specifications and determine whether an overpass or underpass is necessary for public safety and convenience. A city must pay one half of all required maintenance costs, and may allocate costs between railway companies whose tracks are to be crossed by an overpass or underpass. Similar provisions for secondary roads under county jurisdiction do not exist. This bill creates the railway tracks overpass and underpass fund (fund) under the control of the DOT.
