SB 565 - This act prohibits the Department of Transportation
from contracting with private entities to operate truck stops,
fueling stations, convenience stores or restaurants near
interstate public rest areas. This act requires the Department
of Transportation to examine the Vermont and Utah programs which
have phased out interstate public rest areas. These state
programs have implemented a public/private partnership with
designated rest exits. This act does not prohibit the Department
of Transportation from maintaining existing public rest areas or
constructing new rest areas.
