The Department of For-Hire Vehicles Delivery Vehicle Traffic Enforcement Expansion Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Department of For-Hire Vehicles Establishment Act of 1985 to grant the Department the authority to enforce traffic laws against carrier-for-hire vehicles. Key changes include the addition of a definition for "carrier-for-hire," which refers to services that deliver parcels, food, or beverages for compensation. The bill also updates various sections to include carrier-for-hire vehicles in regulations and enforcement protocols, ensuring that vehicle inspection officers can conduct traffic stops and inspections for both public/private vehicles-for-hire and carrier-for-hire vehicles.
Additionally, the bill modifies the Migrant Services and Supports Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2024 by extending its expiration from 225 days to 450 days after taking effect. This legislative change aims to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding for-hire transportation services while also addressing the needs of migrant services in the District of Columbia. The act will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
