A bill to amend 1993 PA 354, entitled “Railroad code of 1993,” by amending section 402 (MCL 462.402).
Prohibits hazardous conditions such as scrap iron, lumber, debris, excessive vegetation, or uneven terrain within a defined "safe space" around railroad tracks, to protect employees. It outlines procedures for inspections, issuing and objecting to orders, and enforcement mechanisms, including court actions and administrative fines for non-compliance. The bill clarifies the definition of "legal control," "person," and "safe space," and emphasizes the role of employees or their representatives during inspections to ensure safety compliance.
