Trucker Bathroom Access Act
HR 3869, the Trucker Bathroom Access Act, requires certain businesses (like warehouses, distribution centers, and shipping/receiving facilities) to allow commercial truck drivers access to their restrooms when delivering or waiting to transport goods. It specifically applies to drivers regulated by the Department of Transportation and excludes small businesses (under 800 sq ft) with employee-only restrooms. The bill mandates that businesses provide access without requiring physical restroom modifications, and for port terminals, requires operators to provide sufficient restrooms with parking access for large cargo trucks (over 33,000 lbs) while avoiding obvious safety risks.
