Bipartisan legislation reintroduced in the House Tuesday would require shippers and receivers to grant truck drivers access to bathrooms at facilities where they pick up and/or deliver.
Congressman Troy E. Nehls (R-Texas) and Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pennsylvania) reintroduced the Trucker Bathroom Access Act. They duo submitted the bill, which mandates that truckers have the same access if a business has a bathroom available to their customers or employees last legislative session, but lawmakers adjoined without advancing it.
