Truck Bill Being Discussed
KENTUCKY...
State legislators in several mountain counties are discussing a bill in the General Assembly that would allow trucks to block Kentucky roadways while they unload their vehicles. House Bill 409, sponsored by Ancel Smith of Leburn in Knott County, has not at this point gained overwhelming
support from other legislators. The issue of public safety appears to be the main sticking point.
If the bill passes, permits costing between $500 and $1000 would allow blockage for up to four hours.
