The Personal Delivery Device Weight Limit Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Personal Delivery Device Act of 2018 to increase the weight limit for personal delivery devices (PDDs). Specifically, the bill repeals Section 2(8)(B) of the current law and introduces a new provision in Section 4(b) that establishes a maximum weight limit of 250 pounds for PDDs, excluding any property they may carry. Additionally, the Department may set a higher weight limit through rulemaking.
This emergency legislation is designed to address the evolving needs of personal delivery devices in the District of Columbia and will remain in effect for up to 90 days following approval by the Mayor or a Council override of a potential veto. The bill includes a fiscal impact statement adopted from the Budget Director, ensuring that the financial implications of the amendment are considered.
