What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires a vehicle operator, when approaching an official stop sign

at a railroad crossing, to stop the vehicle at least ten feet but not more than 30 feet

from the nearest rail before proceeding through the crossing.

This bill requires the stop to be made at least 15 feet but not more than 50 feet

from the nearest rail.
