More detail
The bill would direct the Iowa Department of Transportation to give grants from a railway crossing fund. Cities and counties could receive grants to help build highway overpasses or underpasses across railway tracks. The fund would contain only money appropriated to it. The bill states no amount to be added. Interest and other earnings would go back into the fund, and money left at the end of a fiscal year would stay there.
