| * | Oswald Feliz | | Proposed Int. No. 30-A | Safety standards for powered bicycles and powered mobility devices used for deliveries. | Introduction | This bill would establish safety standards for powered bicycles and powered mobility devices when used for food delivery services, grocery delivery services and businesses using bicycles for commercial purposes. Specifically, the bill requires that any powered mobility device operated by a delivery worker on behalf of a third-party delivery service, third-party courier service, third-party grocery service or business using a bicycle for commercial purposes meet local standards established for the sale of such device, which includes certification by an accredited testing laboratory. Where such a device was being used, third-party delivery services, third-party courier services, and businesses using bicycles for commercial purposes would be responsible for providing the worker with the device at no expense to the worker, or could allow the worker to provide their own compliant device. They could not require the worker to provide a powered bicycle or mobility device at the worker’s expense, however. Finally, responsibility for compliance with these provisions would fall on the third-party delivery service, third-party courier service, or the businesses which would be subject to civil penalties for any violations. | Hearing Held by Committee | |

Int 0762-2024
| * | Rafael Salamanca, Jr. | | | Establishing exemptions for third-party food delivery services from the limits on fees charged by such services on food service establishments. | Introduction | The current cap on fees that a third-party delivery service may charge a restaurant for the use of their service is 15% for delivery, 3% for credit card processing and 5% for any other fees – these percentages are calculated per order. This bill would define “basic service fee” to mandate the services that restaurants shall receive for the 5% capped fee. The bill would also update the definition of “delivery fee” so that such fee ensures a restaurant receives delivery service within at least a one-mile radius from their location. Additionally, the bill would permit third-party food delivery services to charge an additional fee for enhanced services as long as the third-party delivery service offers restaurants basic and delivery services at the current capped amount. Charges for enhanced services if a restaurant selects to purchase them would be capped at 20%. Third-party delivery services would be required to notify restaurants of any pricing changes or options to purchase enhanced services upon passage of this bill and provide restaurants an opportunity to amend their terms of service accordingly.
This bill would also restrict third-party food delivery services from purchasing a restaurant’s name for purposes of internet advertising, allow restaurants to include marketing materials in orders made through third-party food delivery services, and allow restaurants to charge different prices for items ordered through a third-party food delivery service and items ordered directly through | Hearing Held by Committee | |
