A bill for an act relating to the closure of railway crossings for repairs or upgrades, and providing penalties.

This bill limits railway crossing closures for repairs or upgrades to a maximum of 20 consecutive days, reducing the previous 30-day limit. Railroad companies must provide local governments (county boards or city councils) with advance notice detailing the work, completion date, and closure procedures before closing a crossing. Local authorities may approve an additional 20-day extension if the railroad provides updated notice 17 days after the initial closure. Violations carry penalties of $500 to $5,000 per day beyond the allowed closure period, up from the previous $100 daily penalty. The bill directly affects railroad companies and local jurisdictions managing railway crossings.
