Bill > SB0027

This bill amends Indiana Code (IC) 8-6-7.5-3 to establish a minimum judgment of $200 for a railroad corporation that violates the chapter by blocking a railroad-highway grade crossing, which is classified as a Class C infraction, and directs that any funds collected from these judgments be deposited into the industrial rail service fund, a fund established to support rail service improvements. Additionally, the bill adds a new section, IC 8-6-7.5-4, urging the legislative council to assign the topic of blocked railroad grade crossings to an interim study committee for the 2015 interim period, with this directive expiring at the end of that year.
