Congressman Paul Tonko (D-NY 21st) was on the Truth About Trucking radio program yesterday, talking up a bill he's sponsoring to increase trucker safety. Named for the late Jason Rivenburg, who was killed while sleeping at a gas station last spring, Jason's Law seeks to fund more parking and rest areas for trucks throughout the federal highway system.
Here's the OpenCongress page for H.R. 2156, where you can track the bill's progress and follow news coverage on it.
