Consumer and Worker Protection

What it does

This bill would require pedicabs to have (i) meters, instead of timers, to calculate the price of pedicab rides, and (ii) registration plates that display a scannable code that displays the pedicab registration number and the name of the pedicab business. It would also require the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) to (i) issue certain signs with a raised DCWP logo that are required to be in pedicabs (ii) create and provide a training to pedicab drivers on pedicab rules and safety and (iii) allow pedicab drivers to pick up pedicab licenses in person. The bill would also require pedicab drivers to have taken the DCWP safety training within the past year in order to obtain or renew a license. The bill would also remove imprisonment as a penalty for pedicab-related violations and specify that a pedicab driver may not use any device, including a sound amplification device or a device that plays recorded music, that makes illegal noise.
