Vote to pass a bill that limits service fees charged to restaurants by third party food takeout and delivery applications during the COVID-19 state of emergency.
Prohibits third-party food takeout and delivery services from charging a service fee greater than 20 percent of the cost of the individual order or greater than 10 percent of the cost of the individual order if the order is delivered by an employee of the restaurant or an independent contractor with whom the restaurant has contracted directly, for the duration of any state of emergency declared by the Governor in response to COVID-19 and until the 1st day of the 3rd month thereafter (Sec. 2).
Specifies that restaurants may still choose to pay service fees up to 25 percent of the cost of the individual order to access additional advertising or other services, provided that they affirmatively elect to pay that fee (Sec. 2).
