Personal Delivery Device Weight Limit Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2026
This bill amends the Personal Delivery Device Act of 2018 to raise the maximum weight limit for personal delivery devices to 250 pounds, excluding any items being carried by the device. The change applies to all users of these devices in the District of Columbia and allows the Department to set higher limits through future rulemaking if necessary. The legislation is written as an emergency measure that will only remain in effect for up to 90 days after the Mayor's approval or a veto override.
