MS SB2508

Personal delivery devices (electric-powered, cargo-carrying robots designed for sidewalks and pedestrian areas) may operate at speeds up to 10 miles per hour in pedestrian areas including sidewalks, crosswalks, school crossing zones, and safety zones

Devices must yield to all traffic and pedestrians, display owner contact information and unique ID number, have a braking system, and if operated between sunset and sunrise, have front and rear lighting visible from 500 feet

Business entities operating personal delivery devices must maintain general liability insurance coverage of at least $100,000 for damages arising from device operation

Local governments may prohibit personal delivery devices by resolution or ordinance if determined necessary for public safety

Personal delivery devices are explicitly excluded from definitions of "motor vehicle" and "motorcycle" across multiple Mississippi statutes governing vehicle registration, taxation, titling, dealer licensing, and financial responsibility requirements
