Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, with certain exceptions, no person may enter or remain on
railroad tracks. The prohibition does not apply to the use of public highways or to
a person driving across a railroad from one part of the person's land to another,
among other things.
This bill provides that the prohibition on entering or remaining on railroad
tracks does not apply to a person walking directly across the tracks or right-of-way
of a railroad.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
