MR. SPEAKER:

    I move that House Bill 1683 be amended to read as follows:

    Page 2, after line 5 , begin a new paragraph and insert:
    "Section 1. IC 8-6-12-3 IS ADDED TO THE INDIANA CODE AS A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS [EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2003]: Sec. 3. Local Condemnation of Neglected Railroad Property. The board of public works or board of public works and safety of a city or town legislative body may issue a written improvement order requiring that any railroad undertake to repair or improve that space immediately adjacent to its rails and within its rails. The written improvement order shall be given by the board or body to the railroad, interurban, or interurban street railroad company and must allow the railroad company thirty (30) days in which to commence the repairs or improvement. If the railroad company fails to complete the work within one hundred eighty (180) days, then the board or body may proceed with condemnation proceedings for the taking of that property not repaired or improved.
    
(Reference is to HB 1683 as printed February 18, 2003.)
