Summary

The purpose of this bill is to make it clear that rail companies must cooperate with and receive permission from the Commissioner of the Division of Highways before they build or conduct repairs or otherwise preform maintenance on the railroad, tracks or crossings that close state roads. This is to ensure that the traveling public has needed access to emergency services, school, work and is not unnecessarily inconvenienced by road closures.
