Senate Bill 969 amends the Transportation Code to set out provisions relating to the operation of a personal delivery or mobile carrying device in a pedestrian area or on the side or shoulder of a highway. Among other provisions, the bill restricts operation of a personal delivery device to a person who is a business entity or an agent of the business entity with the capability to monitor or exercise physical control over the navigation and operation of the device. The bill establishes speed limits for such devices but authorizes a local authority to establish a lower speed limit in a pedestrian area under certain circumstances.
