Relieving railroad companies of liability during parades under certain circumstances

SB 45 modifies West Virginia law to relieve railroad companies of liability for injuries occurring at railroad crossings during parades organized by schools, municipalities, counties, or public entities. This applies only if the railroad company receives advance notice of the parade time and stops trains during the parade. The bill specifically removes legal liability for railroads under these conditions, while requiring the parade organizers to notify the railroad and ensure trains are halted. It directly affects railroad companies (by limiting their liability) and parade participants (who cannot seek damages under these specific circumstances). The key provision requires both advance notification and a stopped train during the parade event.
