Bill > S2256

This bill establishes regulations for the use of "personal delivery devices" in Massachusetts. It defines a personal delivery device as a device used to transport cargo and goods on public rights of way, without carrying passengers, and weighing no more than 550 pounds. The bill requires that only business entities can operate these devices, with an agent capable of monitoring or controlling the device. The devices must follow pedestrian traffic laws and not obstruct public rights of way. Local authorities can prohibit the use of these devices in certain areas, but cannot otherwise regulate them in a way that is inconsistent with the provisions of this bill. The bill also requires business entities operating these devices to maintain a minimum of $100,000 in general liability insurance coverage.
