This bill amends section 28-101 of the Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2024, to introduce new provisions that prohibit interference with railroad infrastructure, equipment, and personnel. It defines key terms such as "interfere" and "rail infrastructure," and outlines specific actions that constitute an offense, including tampering with tracks, interfering with signaling systems, and assaulting railroad personnel. The bill establishes that such violations are classified as a Class IIIA felony, thereby increasing the legal consequences for these actions.

Additionally, the bill harmonizes existing provisions and repeals the original section 28-101. The new legal language inserted into the law clarifies the definitions and scope of prohibited actions related to railroad operations, aiming to enhance safety and security within the railroad industry.
