Illinois HB3743 mandates railroad safety messaging in school handbooks for grades K-12.
Illinois HB3743 amends the School Code to require each school district to include railroad safety messaging in its handbooks for grades kindergarten through 12. The messaging emphasizes the importance of crossing tracks only at designated crossings, obeying warning signs and signals, and the dangers of trespassing on train tracks. A school may opt-out of this requirement if the school district votes that such messaging is unnecessary.
