Personal Delivery Device Weight Limit Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This resolution declares an emergency to temporarily raise the weight limit for personal delivery devices, such as scooters, from 90 pounds to 275 pounds. The measure directly affects companies operating these devices and aims to prevent a legal gap that would occur when a current temporary law expires in May 2026 before a permanent bill can be passed. By allowing single-reading adoption, the bill ensures that newer, heavier models with enhanced features can continue to be used legally without interruption. This change aligns D.C. regulations with several other states that permit heavier devices and addresses the need for updated hardware capabilities.
