What it does

SB 801 - This act provides that railroads shall maintain a minimum distance between the near edge of a railroad crossing and the rolling stock stored on sidings nearby. The minimum distance shall be 500 feet unless the Department of Transportation determines a different distance is necessary at a particular location. The act shall not apply to certain rail cars specified in the act if physical conditions require the use of a track temporarily or minimum distances can not be obtained. This act is similar to HCS/HB 396 (2025).
