Bill overview
This bill establishes a process for fiber optic broadband lines to cross railroad property in West Virginia. It creates a standardized, one-time fee for these crossings, aiming to facilitate broadband deployment while ensuring railroads are compensated for the inconvenience. The bill outlines requirements for notice, construction, and reimbursement for flagging expenses, with exceptions for crossings in public right-of-way and abandoned tracks. It also provides a mechanism for railroads to seek injunctive relief if a crossing poses a significant risk.
