SB 176 - This act enacts provisions relating to personal delivery devices ("PDDs"), as defined in the act. PDDs may operate on sidewalks and crosswalks, and may operate on county or municipal roadways provided they do not unreasonably interfere with motor vehicles or traffic. (Section 304.900.2). PDDs shall not block public rights of way, shall obey traffic and pedestrian control signals, shall not exceed 10 miles per hour on a sidewalk, shall display a unique identification number, shall include a means of identifying the operator of the device, and shall be equipped with a system allowing the device to come to a controlled stop. (Section 304.900.3). PDDs operating on sidewalks shall have the same rights and responsibilities as pedestrians. (Section 304.900.4). PDDs shall be exempt from motor vehicle registration requirements (Section 304.900.5), and shall maintain a general liability insurance policy of at least $100,000 (Section 304.900.6). PDDs operated at night shall be equipped with lighting as provided in the act. (Section 304.900.7). PDDs shall not be used to transport hazardous materials. (Section 304.900.8). No political subdivision shall enact or enforce an ordinance relating to PDD design, manufacture, maintenance, licensing, registration, taxation, assessment, certification, or insurance, or the type of property a PDD may transport. (Section 304.900.9). This act is identical to HCS/HB 2290 (2020). ERIC VANDER WEERD
