This bill sets rules for small robotic delivery devices that travel on sidewalks and pedestrian areas, spelling out where they can operate, what safety requirements they must meet, and when they cannot be used. It also requires the companies running these devices to carry at least $100,000 in liability insurance and prevents local governments from taxing or charging fees for their use.
