requiring a food delivery service to enter into an agreement with a food service establishment or food retail store before offering delivery service from that restaurant.
SB 280 requires food delivery platforms (like Uber Eats or DoorDash) to obtain a written agreement from a restaurant or grocery store before taking orders or arranging deliveries from that specific location. This directly affects food delivery services and the restaurants or stores they partner with, mandating explicit authorization before service begins. The key provision prohibits delivery platforms from operating delivery services for a food establishment without a prior, express agreement authorizing them to handle orders and deliver meals prepared by that business. The law became effective on July 15, 2025, after passing both chambers unanimously and receiving the Governor's signature.
