SB 2625 prohibits railroad companies from blocking a railroad crossing for more than 30 consecutive minutes at locations serving hospitals, residential neighborhoods, or occupied homes (based on traffic counts). Railroad companies face $1,000 civil penalties for first violations and up to $3,000 for repeat offenses within 18 months at the same crossing. Collected penalties fund local railroad crossing improvements: 85% goes to counties/municipalities for projects on public roads, while 15% covers administrative costs. The law also removes railroad immunity for injuries caused when emergency vehicles are blocked due to violations. It takes effect July 1, 2026.
