 Introduced by M. of A. SIMON, GLICK, TAPIA, BURDICK -- read once and
 referred to the Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection

 AN ACT to amend the general business law, in relation to prohibiting
 delivery services from guaranteeing thirty-minute delivery and prohib-
 iting such services from penalizing workers for failure to deliver

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
 2 391-x to read as follows:
 3 § 391-x. Thirty-minute delivery services; delivery time not guaran-
 4 teed. 1. For purposes of this section, "thirty-minute delivery service"
 5 shall mean any website, mobile application, or other internet service
 6 that offers or arranges for delivery of goods, including food, and
 7 advertises that such deliveries shall occur within thirty minutes or
 8 less.
 9 2. Every thirty-minute delivery service shall include the following
 10 language in any advertisement that mentions deliveries within thirty
 11 minutes or less: "Delivery is not guaranteed within 30 minutes. For the
 12 safety of the public and delivery workers, please allow more than 30
 13 minutes for delivery." In any such written advertisement, such language
 14 shall be prominently displayed in a clear and conspicuous manner to the
 15 consumer.
 16 3. Every thirty-minute delivery service shall disclose to any worker
 17 engaged to make deliveries on behalf of such service that delivery is
 18 not required within thirty minutes and that there is no penalty for
 19 failure to deliver within thirty minutes. If the thirty-minute delivery
 20 service uses a mobile application to communicate with such workers, such
 21 disclosure shall be prominently displayed in a clear and conspicuous
 22 manner in such mobile application.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
