An Act establishing protections and accountability for Delivery Network Company workers, consumers, and communities

This bill establishes that app-based delivery workers (like those for food or package delivery apps) are presumed to be employees of Delivery Network Companies (DNCs) for wage and labor purposes. It requires DNCs to pay at least the state minimum wage for all "working time" (including both delivery time and time spent waiting for assignments), or 150% of minimum wage for delivery time if workers control their schedule. DNCs must provide detailed payroll data to the Department of Labor, including hours worked, pay rates, and incentives, and publish quarterly reports on average wages and hours by location. The bill directly affects app-based delivery workers and the companies using them, changing how their compensation is calculated and reported.
