The Department of For-Hire Vehicles Delivery Vehicle Traffic Enforcement Expansion Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Department of For-Hire Vehicles Establishment Act of 1985 to empower the Department of For-Hire Vehicles (DFHV) to enforce traffic laws specifically 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 the regulations and enforcement protocols, ensuring that vehicle inspection officers can conduct traffic stops and inspections on these vehicles alongside public and private vehicles-for-hire.
Additionally, the bill amends the Migrant Services and Supports Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2024 to extend its expiration from 225 days to 450 days after taking effect. This legislative action aims to enhance the regulatory framework governing for-hire transportation services in the District of Columbia while also providing necessary support for migrant services. The act is set to take effect following approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days as an emergency measure.
