Some of these slob drivers don't deserve the courtesy of a porta-john
JoeyJunk, tscottme and TheLoadOut Thank this. -
So absolutely no change and a feel good law only.
From the actual law as written.
https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2023-24/Pdf/Bills/House Passed Legislature/1457-S.PL.pdf?q=20230815200720
(a) The restroom is located in an area where providing access would not create an obvious health or safety risk to the motor carrier; and
(b) Allowing the motor carrier to access the restroom does not pose an obvious security, health, or safety risk to the shipper,consignee, or its employees.
(3) A shipper or consignee is not required to make any physical changes to a restroom under this section and may require that an employee accompany a motor carrier to the restroom.
In a nutshell, all they have to do is say it's unsafe to be on the docks and not provide an outhouse and business as normal. As there is no penalty for not having an available restroom
Well not no penalty. The health department can tell them about the law, and might even issue a citation for a whopping $125 if they want to take it to court. Of course the shipper just has to point to the unsafe provision....Last edited: Aug 16, 2023
