HB 598 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 4 (Amusements) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in general provisions relating to video gaming, further providing for definitions.

HB 598 amends Pennsylvania's definition of "truck stop establishment" in Title 4 (Amusements) by removing a requirement that truck stops sell an average of 50,000 gallons of diesel monthly. The new definition now requires truck stops to have diesel fueling islands, at least 20 dedicated parking spaces for commercial vehicles, a convenience store, a minimum of three acres of land (not owned by the Pennsylvania Turnpike), and to be situated on property meeting these criteria. This change directly affects existing truck stops that previously qualified under the old diesel sales threshold but lack the new physical or operational requirements. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
