The Department of For-Hire Vehicles Delivery Vehicle Traffic Enforcement Expansion Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the enforcement capabilities of the Department of For-Hire Vehicles (DFHV) by allowing it to enforce traffic laws against carrier-for-hire vehicles. The bill introduces a new definition for "carrier-for-hire," which refers to transportation services provided by private operators delivering parcels, food, or beverages for compensation. Additionally, the bill amends existing sections of the Department of For-Hire Vehicles Establishment Act of 1985 to include carrier-for-hire vehicles in the regulations governing vehicle inspections and traffic stops.

Key amendments include the addition of a new paragraph that establishes rules for enforcing traffic regulations against carrier-for-hire vehicles and updates to existing language to encompass both public/private vehicles-for-hire and carrier-for-hire services. The bill also specifies that vehicle inspection officers will be responsible for enforcing laws related to both types of vehicles and outlines the training requirements for these officers. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days.
