Amid budget negotiations dragging five days past the June 30 deadline, a York County lawmaker on Tuesday announced he would introduce a bill that would expand the number of truck stops eligible for video gaming licenses.

Rep. Seth Grove, R-York, said he would soon introduce a bill to end the requirement that a video gaming terminal licensee sells at least 50,000 gallons of diesel fuel each month on average.

“Simply, linking a licensee to a commodity makes no sense. Think of it this way, would the commonwealth link a tavern license to how many wings a tavern sells per month?” Grove wrote in a memo seeking co-sponsors for his proposal.
