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, obstructing signals, and assaulting railroad personnel. The bill establishes that such violations will be classified as a Class IIIA felony.
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 the scope of prohibited actions, ensuring that individuals who engage in these activities face significant legal consequences.
