Illinois HB3743 mandates school districts to include railroad safety messaging in their handbooks for grades K-12.
Illinois HB3743 amends the School Code to require each school district to incorporate specific railroad safety messages in their handbooks for students in grades kindergarten through 12. These messages emphasize crossing tracks only at designated crossings, avoiding walking on train tracks, and understanding the dangers of ignoring warning signals. A school district can opt-out of this requirement if they vote that such messaging is unnecessary.
