Inspired by Washington state’s successful legislation this year giving truckers greater access to bathroom facilities, a Pennsylvania lawmaker has introduced a bill in that state’s General Assembly to do the same.
“It’s a huge issue — not just in Pennsylvania, but nationally — that these drivers are not permitted to use restrooms in some facilities where they are picking up and dropping off,” Rep. Jason Silvis (R) said. “That’s just not American in any way, shape or form.”
Silvis has been in office for 16 months, but previously made his living behind the wheel — in Hollywood. As a stuntman who also held a commercial driver license, Silvis carved out a niche.
