This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to relieve railroad companies from liability for injuries sustained by individuals using a railroad crossing during parades organized by schools, municipalities, counties, or other public entities. The bill specifies that this immunity from liability applies only if the railroad company is notified of the parade's timing and a train is stopped during the event.

The new legal language added to the existing law clarifies that the railroad company will not be held responsible for any injuries that occur at crossings during these parades, provided the necessary conditions of notification and train stoppage are met. This amendment aims to enhance safety during parades while protecting railroad companies from potential legal claims related to such events.
