What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill establishes requirements for third-party food delivery services that

operate digital networks and deliver food purchased from restaurants through

digital networks. Specifically, the bill prohibits a third-party food delivery service

from listing a restaurant on its digital network or offering a restaurant's food for

delivery unless the third-party food delivery service first obtains written consent

from the operator of the restaurant. The bill also requires third-party food delivery

services to ensure that menus, descriptions, and prices related to a restaurant are

accurate.

Under the bill, third-party food delivery services must disclose to restaurants

the amount of any commissions, delivery fees, and promotional fees charged, and

must also ensure that individuals delivering food for the third-party food delivery

service have knowledge of basic food safety principles. Third-party food delivery

services must also provide restaurant operators with access to anonymized

information identifying various details related to orders involving the restaurant

and must allow restaurant operators to view and respond to consumer feedback and

reviews.
