This bill, titled the "Trucker Bathroom Access Act," amends title 49 of the United States Code to ensure that commercial motor vehicle drivers have access to restroom facilities at businesses where they deliver or pick up goods. It stipulates that a "covered establishment," which includes shippers, warehouses, and businesses open to the public, must grant access to its "covered restroom facilities." These facilities must be intended for customers or employees and located in areas that do not pose obvious health, safety, or security risks to the driver or the establishment. The legislation clarifies that businesses are not required to make physical changes to their restrooms to comply. Additionally, it carves out an exception for small filling stations or restaurants (800 square feet or less) if their restrooms are exclusively for employees. A separate section specifically addresses drayage truck operators , requiring marine terminal operators to provide a sufficient number of accessible restrooms, including existing facilities and potentially additional ones, along with parking for vehicles. This aims to improve sanitation access for truckers across various operational contexts.
