Enacting the utility railroad crossing act and establishing a process and limitations for utilities to interact with railroad right-of-way.

Summary

The bill sets rules for utilities that need to build, maintain, or modify pipes, cables, and other infrastructure that cross or run parallel to railroad tracks. It requires utilities to give railroads advance notice, submit engineering plans, and meet fee and insurance requirements, while allowing railroads to raise objections that are resolved through the state corporation commission. The aim is to make railroad‑utility interactions safer and more predictable.
