An Act relative to third party delivery fees
This bill establishes a minimum $0.50 delivery fee for all third-party food delivery orders in Massachusetts, applied per order regardless of the restaurant's menu price. It requires delivery companies to annually report delivery volumes and collected fees to the Department of Public Utilities, with the fee adjusted for inflation every two years. Revenue from these fees is split equally: half funds municipal transportation infrastructure in cities/towns based on delivery volume, and half goes to the Commonwealth Transportation Fund. The law directly affects delivery platforms, restaurants using their services, and local governments receiving funding. It does not apply to items not subject to state sales tax.
