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 grant the Department the authority 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, extending its expiration from 225 days to 450 days after taking effect. This legislative action is intended to enhance the regulatory framework surrounding for-hire transportation services and improve safety and compliance within the industry. The act will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days following approval by the Mayor or a Council override of a potential veto.
