            Previous law granted a gas corporation the right to lay and maintain a gas pipeline, under certain conditions, over, along, under, and across a public road, a railroad, a railroad right-of-way, an interurban railroad, a street railroad, a canal or stream, or a municipal street or alley.  House Bill 2289 amends the Utilities Code to clarify that the gas utility may lay and maintain a pipeline over, under, and across a railroad or a railroad right-of-way but not along a railroad or a railroad right-of-way.
