The Personal Delivery Device Weight Limit Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 seeks to amend the Personal Delivery Device Act of 2018 by increasing the weight limit for personal delivery devices (PDDs). Specifically, the bill repeals Section 2(8)(B) of the current law and amends Section 4(b) to include a new paragraph (6), which establishes that PDDs must not exceed 250 pounds in weight, excluding any property being carried. 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, ensuring that they can operate effectively while adhering to safety and regulatory standards. The bill will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the provisions for emergency acts.
